empirical linear relation between compressional wave velocity and density in rocks of similar mean atomic weight, used to interpret Earth's interior.

In geophysics, Birch's law refers to empirical linear relation between compressional wave velocity and density in rocks of similar mean atomic weight, used to interpret Earth's interior. This meaning comes from Birch (1961) in Journal of Geophysical Research.[1]
