The Earth's deep interior is only accessible by indirect methods, first and foremost seismological studies. The interpretation of these seismic data and the corresponding numerical modelling requires measurements of the elastic properties of representative Earth materials under experimental simulated in situ conditions. Different techniques and results for experiments under crustal and mantle conditions are described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
