What is the difference between earth's compositional layers and its structural layers?
the difference is that the earth's theory is similar to that of a hypotheses , structure and compositional layer of the earth.
Compare Earth's compositional layers with its structural layers?
The Earth has three compositional layers and five structural layers. Both layers have iron, magnesium, aluminum and silica.
What is the difference between mesosphere in layers of the atmosphere and mesosphere in the layers of the soil according to its composition?
One is in the soil and the other is in the atmosphere.
Is the crust and the mantle brittle or is the crust and lithosphere brittle?
In order to answer this you need to understand the difference between the compositional layers of the earth and the physical layers. The crust and mantle are differing layers of the earth based on chemical composition. The lithosphere is a layer of the earth defined based on it's physical or mechanical properties (how it deforms). The lithosphere is composed of the crust and the portion of the upper mantle which deforms elastically and fails in a brittle manner (fractures can propagate through the material). So in the question where you ask is the crust and lithosphere brittle, the answer is yes as the crust is entirely part of the lithosphere which by definition is brittle. However as described above, a section of the upper mantle is also a brittle solid and so that too is part of the lithosphere. However below this, the mantle behaves as a ductile solid.
What is difference between a foliated and an unfoliated metamorphic rock.?
foliated rocks are arranged in parallel layers, or bands. Unfoliated rocks are not banded and are not put into parallel layers.
What is the difference between the physical layers and the compositional layers?
dont know dont care

What is the compositional layers of earth?
Core Crust and Mantle
What are the 3 compositional layers of earth?
The crust, mantle, and core. :)
What are three compositional layers of the earth?
mantle,crust,core
Different layers of the earth?
The compositional layers of the earth are the crust, mantle and core. The physical layers are the lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer and inner core.
What are the layers of the earth and its composition?
Mechanical layering of the earth: - Lithosphere (solid/rigid), 0-150km - Asthenosphere (solid/elastic), 150-660km - Mantle (solid/rigid), 660- 2900km - Outer core (liquid), 2900-5730km - Inner core, 5730-6400km Chemical layering of the earth: - Crust (oceanic and continental), 0-40km - Mantle, 40-2900km - Core, 2900-6400km
What are earths compositional layers in order of increasing density?
Crust, mantle, and then core.!(:
Which of the compositional layers make up the greatest percentage of Earth's mass?
Continental crust
