Aligned Cracks

Aligned Cracks is a geophysical construct representing a system of fracture-like discontinuities in the Earth's crust that are preferentially oriented in a common direction, thereby inducing seismic anisotropy due to the directional dependence of elastic wave propagation through the aligned discontinuities.
