... The force of these movements sends shock waves in all directions and shakes the ground. Dropping a stone in a still pond will generate an outward wave similar to the type that results when two plates come into contact. The intensity of these waves depends on how deep the focus is (up to 700 km, or 4 ...

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.
