P waves
... Seismic waves that travel along Earth’s surface are called surface waves. Each wave travels through Earth’s layers in a different way and at different speeds. The speed of the seismic wave depends on the kind of material it travels through. Waves that travel through solids, liquids, and gases are ca ...

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.
