<My question is, do the gravitational effects of the Moon also contribute to the Earth's core remanining in a molten state?

The center of gravity for the Earth/Moon system is approx. 1,000 miles below the Earth's crust, so I would think that this reageon of the mantle could be the hottest, and the slow orbit keeps it nicely stirred.
