The 16 pages that link to Seismic anisotropy, each with the reason it gives.

• Seismic waveRelated: Direction-dependent speeds can reveal aligned minerals, cracks, and deformation inside Earth.

• Seismic tomographyRelated: Separating anisotropy from isotropic speed variation remains difficult in many models.

• S-waveRelated: Directional differences in S-wave speed reveal aligned minerals and rock fabrics.

• AsthenosphereRelated: Anisotropy records asthenosphere flow direction, but its pattern defies simple models.

• Core–mantle boundaryRelated: Anisotropy near the boundary constrains mineral alignment and flow in the lowermost mantle.

• Mantle xenolithRelated: Xenolith mineral fabrics help interpret the mantle deformation that produces seismic anisotropy.

• High-pressure mineral physicsRelated: Mineral elastic properties help connect laboratory measurements to directional seismic signals.

• Deep-focus earthquakeRelated: It can reveal deformation and mineral alignment within slabs containing deep earthquakes.

• Love waveRelated: Rock fabric can alter Love-wave speed and polarization from their layered-isotropic predictions.

• MyloniteRelated: Aligned minerals in mylonitic shear zones can influence seismic-wave propagation.

• Mineral physicsRelated: Crystallographic alignment in mantle minerals can produce directional seismic speeds.

• Upper mantleRelated: Its upper-mantle patterns help constrain mineral alignment and mantle flow.

• Full waveform inversionRelated: Ignoring anisotropy can make the inversion attribute directional effects to incorrect velocities.

• Rheology of the mantleRelated: Frozen-in olivine fabric records past and present mantle flow directions at depth.

• TectoniteRelated: Aligned minerals in tectonites can contribute to anisotropic seismic-wave propagation.
