Continent-sized anomalous zones with low seismic velocity at the base of Earth's mantle
Seismic images of Earth's interior reveal two massive anomalous zones at the base of the
mantle, above the core, where seismic waves travel slowly. The mantle materials that …

Anisotropy in the deep Earth
B Romanowicz, HR Wenk - Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 2017 - Elsevier
Seismic anisotropy has been found in many regions of the Earth's interior. Its presence in the
Earth's crust has been known since the 19th century, and is due in part to the alignment of …
