Abstract:  Definition of anisotropy using rock physics

In solid state physics and crystallography we talk about the different arrangement of lattice arrangements to calculate the different systems for the mineral crystals. The system starts from triclinic to isotropic via monoclinic, orthorhombic etc. systems. On the other hand in theory of continuum we consider the scale of measurement and characterize the arrangement of elements as isotropic to triclinic. In earth most of the minerals are not isotropic but in theory of continuum with respect to different measurements like sonic to seismic we presume the system under investigation as isotropic. This presentation will be based on this concept with respect to different measurements.
