The division of earths atmosphere into layers is based on what differences?
Based on temperature differences.
The division of earths atmosphere into layers is based on?
temperature differences
How are Earth's layers classified?
Based on temperature differences.
How many layers of the earth are there in all?
There are three main layers based on composition: the crust, the mantle, and the core. There are numerous physical layers. See the link below.
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 are the major layers of earths internal structure based on physical properties?
inner core outer core lower mantle upper mantle lithosphere
What are the five layers of us based on physical properties?
We are all made out of a mass of molecules and a complex molecular structure.
What is the division of earths atmosphere into layers is based on?
Based on temperature differences.
Is the mantle divided into layers based on the physical properties?
no, it cant be the properties because the earth's mantle was thought to be different then what we think it is now. i am pretty sure it is where the sections are located at.

What makes an icing a colloid?
Ice cream is a nontransparent, homogeneous mixture that will not settle out or separate into layers based upon the physical properties of the substances in the mixture.
How are the sublayers of the mantle divided?
Based on the physical characteristics of those layers.
Can minerals be identified based on their physical and chemical properties.?
Yes
Is it true that unknown compounds can usually be identified based solely on their physical properties.?
it is not true that some compounds can usually be indetified based solely on their physical properties.
What is the separation of mixtures based on?
The physical properties of the things in the mixture. It could be that one part of the mixture is soluble, the other part insoluble - both physical properties. It could be that you use the boiling point of 2 liquids to separate them - physical properties. You could use a magnet if one part is magnetic and the other isn't - physical properties. And so on. But you are relying on physical properties rather than chemical properties.
