Compounds can be separated by physical methods is the statement about compounds that is false.
A compound is a molecule that is formed from the combination of two or more different chemical elements. The atoms of the different elements that form a compound are held together by chemical bonds (covalent and ionic) that are not easy to break. The component of a compound can only be separated by chemical means and not by physical methods. An example of a compound is water (H2O) which is composed of hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) atoms.
Earth's mantle plays an important role in the evolution of the crust and provides the thermal and mechanical driving forces for plate tectonics. Heat liberated by the core is transferred into the mantle where most of it (> 90%) is convected through the mantle to the base of the lithosphere.
