Extrinsic Elastic Anisotropy in a Compositionally Heterogeneous Earth's Mantle

Several theoretical studies indicate that a substantial fraction of the measured seismic anisotropy could be interpreted as extrinsic anisotropy associated with compositional layering in rocks, reducing the significance of strain‐induced intrinsic anisotropy. Here we quantify the potential contribut...
