Does Heterogeneous Strain Act as a Control on Seismic Anisotropy in Earth’s Lower Mantle?

Plastic deformation and texture development in minerals of the lower mantle can result in seismic anisotropy, and studying deformation of lower mantle materials is therefore important for interpreting lower mantle flow. Most previous deformation experiments documenting texture development at lower m...
