Scientific paper

The tidal effects on a fractured asteroid are considered. The asteroid is assumed to consist of two parts. In the gravitational field of another body the motion of one part of the asteroid in relation to the second part may be initiated. The necessary conditions for this motion are determined and the amount of heat that can be generated is calculated. It is suggested that metamorphic episodes found in some meteorites are the results of such heating.
