This study provides a comprehensive review of the crystal preferred orientation (CPO) of olivine and orthopyroxene in the upper mantle, and of several hydrous minerals in the mantle wedge and at the slab-mantle interface. It discusses the seismic anisotropy of those minerals. Water-induced CPOs of olivine produced by previous experimental studies under high pressure and temperature conditions were found in many natural rocks. It is emphasized that the strong CPOs of hydrous minerals such as serpentine, chlorite, and amphibole, play an important role in interpreting the anomalously strong seismic anisotropy observed in subduction zones.
