A correlation has been revealed between the types of acoustic anisotropy and magnetic suscepti bility anisotropy for specimens from noncrystalline metamorphic and sedimentary rock has been revealed. This correlation makes it possible to assume that the anisotropy of magnetic and acoustic characteristics has the same origin, namely, the rock texture. The pronounced triaxial acoustic anisotropy for specimens of poly crystalline rock in the absence of external forces makes it possible to judge the fracturing caused by tectonic loads and the degree of this fracturing. The large body of available experimental data allows the expectation that it will be possible to obtain empirical dependences suitable for estimating the intensity of geological pro cesses based on the values of the magnetic susceptibility anisotropy and elasticity tensor anisotropy.
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.
