How Waves Reveal Internal Structure of the Earth.
... Remember that we are talking about observations of arrival time of wave. What controls when, say, an automobile leaving Americus will get to some destination? That will depend, of course, on 1) how far away the destination is, and 2) on how fast the car is driven – distance and speed. It’s the same ...

Shear wave splitting
Shear wave splitting, also called seismic birefringence, is the phenomenon that occurs when a polarized shear wave enters an anisotropic medium (Fig. 1). The incident shear wave splits into two polarized shear waves (Fig. 2). Shear wave splitting is typically used as a tool for testing the anisotropy of an area of interest. These measurements reflect the degree of anisotropy and lead to a better understanding of the area’s crack density and orientation or crystal alignment.We can think of the anisotropy of a particular area as a black box and the shear wave splitting measurements as a way of looking at what is in the box.
