The state of isostasy suggests that the Earth's lithosphere is floating over the asthenosphere. This is due to the difference in density between the crust from the lithosphere and the mantle layer, the crust is less dense than the mantle so it is floating above it at a certain elevation. This is also the reason for all of the tectonic movement and process on the Earth.

Electromagnetic radiationEarth's surface and atmosphere emit primarily infrared radiation.

The Earth emits infrared radiation or longwave radiation. This follows at once from the electromagnetic energy spectrum and the respective temperatures of the sun and Earth.

The Earth emits in the main longer wavelength infrared radiation that we can't see. daylight made up of seen light passes thru the atmosphere on the way into Earth, but the greenhouse gases inside the Earth's ecosystem soak up infrared radiation going out to the area.

Atmospheric radiation is the float of electromagnetic strength among the solar and the Earth's floor as its miles are motivated via clouds, aerosols, and gases within the Earth's environment. It consists of each sun radiation (sunlight) and long-wave (thermal) radiation.

Vilnius is the capital of what country?
saul85 [17]
Vilnus is the capital of Lithuania - a small country in Eastern Europe, on the Baltic Sea, which used to be one of the Soviet Republics before the split-up of the Soviet Union.

Despite being Lithuanian's biggest city, it has a big Polish population and it was once in Poland, not in Lithuania - which was a reason for a conflict between the two countries.
