The mantles interfaces  the core-mantle boundary and the lithosphere  may hold the key to understanding mantle motion, because of the seismic anisotropy present in these parts of the Earth. � This thesis contains a substantive introduction to the structure of the Earth, seismic anisotropy in the...
