Do tides occur in the molten interior of the earth for the same reason as ocean tides?

That sounds reasonable, but those tides don't affect us as much, so you don't hear much about them.

What will occur if molten liquid or rocks cools on earth surface?
it can make new land
What are the names of the region in earth's interior where convection currents occur?
The middle of the mantle.
Of what importance is the study of earths interior to man?
The study of the earth's interior is important for man to understand his environment. It also helps to predict events that may occur on the earth's surface.
What are earthquakes. How do they occur?
earthquakes happen when sections of the earths crust shift.These shifting parts called plates,are actually pieces of the crust floating on the hot molten interior of the earth. The majority of earthquakes happen along the edges of those plates,and along weak areas of the crust called fault zones
When molten igneous material intrudes into rock what metamorphism can occur.?

Under what circumstances can differentiation occur in a planet?
The planet must have a molten interior

Would you expect plate tectonic activity similar to that on the earth to occur on the Moon?
No. The moon does not have a molten core for the plates to "float" on.

Which earth layer do convection current occur?
in the mantle due to the molten rock... hope this helps!!! =] also for better detail they happen in the asthenospheric mantle to

Why does electrolysis not occur unless lead II bromide is molten?
Because it has to be an ionic substance, either by being molten or by being in solution.

What provides the heat drives the formation of igneous and metamorphic rocks?
There are two, gravity and thermal energy from the core. Thermal energy from the core heats the rock to melting, gravity pulls the weight of the entire atmosphere, biosphere and crust down on the outer and inner mantles creating great pressure on the molten rock and on the core. All the energy is then contained and insulated by the crust which "floats" on top of the molten layer. Cracks or fissure sometimes provide a path for some of the molten rock, magma, to escape through the crust. This happens both on land and under the ocean. When this molten rocks escapes the crust it called lava, it cools and hardens to form igneous rock. Metamorphic rock is a pre-existing form of rock that has been subjected to the great pressures and heat described above long enough to allow a metamorphosis to occur in that rock, marble is an excellent example of metamorphic rock.
Why is mars a solid planet?
because mars is a lot smaller than the earth (mars is about the same size as the earth) it is said that the interior of mars has cooled. Therefore convection of the asthenosphere is not possible and continental drift does not occur. We think the earth is headed in the same direction as mars and the earths interior will eventually cool to a solid.
