When a planet's orbit is particularly oblong, the stretching changes are so great that its interior warms up in a process called tidal heating global warming.

There, fixed it. ;)

I kinda wonder if there might be life that hibernates on planets with wildly elliptical orbits. It would go underground during the trip out away from the star and reemerge during the close pass.

I suppose another option would be life that breeds and dies within a relatively short time but leaves eggs to wait out the inhospitable time.

It’s all interesting stuff fer ponderin.

With all that shape changing, how bad would the earthquake situation be? Might seriously inhibit habitability for “civilized” beings.
