摘要: [1] A dense network of seismic stations has been deployed across the northeast Japan arc to investigate mantle wedge structures. To attain independent petrophysical constraints, we determined properties Ichinomegata xenoliths from back-arc region that were brought surface lithosphere by volcanic eruptions. We calculated olivine and pyroxene crystal-preferred orientations single crystal elastic constants. The small magnitude measured S-wave splitting (delay time 0.22 s in area where entrained) can be explained average for an approximately 20-km thick horizontal anisotropic layer, indicating could one dominant sources anisotropy; this layer is possibly related deformation uppermost due spreading along arc.
