Popis:	Anisotropism of seismic velocities is at its minimum in rocks consisting mainly of feldspar and quartz, is appreciable in pyroxenes and amphiboles (chain-structured silicates), and is at its maximum in mica-rich rocks (sheef-structured silicates). Inasmuch as the difference between the formation and boundary velocities has been established by the DSS for the Earth's crust, as a whole, and is recognizable also in the tops of the mantle, the crust and the tops of the mantle probably consist of seismically anistropic rocks. -- IGR Staff.
