| canyon (A long deep, relatively narrow steep-sided valley confined between lofty and precipitous walls in a plateau or mountainous area, often with a stream at the bottom; similar to, but largest than, a gorge. It is characteristic of an arid or semiarid area (such as western U.S) where stream downcutting greatly exceeds weathering) | kanjon | |

| car (A four-wheeled motor vehicle used for land transport, usually propelled by a gasoline or diesel internal combustion engine) | auto | |
| car park (Area of ground or a building where there is space for vehicles to be parked) | parkla | |
| car tyre (A rubber ring placed over the rim of a wheel of a road vehicle to provide traction and reduce road shocks, especially a hollow inflated ring consisting of a reinforced outer casing enclosing an inner tube) | autorehv | |
| carbohydrate (Any of the group of organic compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, including sugars, starches and celluloses) | süsivesik | |
| carbon (A nonmetallic element existing in the three crystalline forms: graphite, diamond and buckminsterfullerene: occurring in carbon dioxide, coal, oil and all organic compounds) | süsinik | |
| carbon credit | COSUB2SUB arvestusühik | |
| carbon cycle | süsinikuringe | |
| carbon cycle (The cycle of carbon in the biosphere, in which plants convert carbon dioxide to organic compounds that are consumed by plants and animals, and the carbon is returned to the biosphere in inorganic form by processes of respiration and decay) | süsinikuringe | |
| carbon dioxide | süsihappegaas | |
| carbon dioxide | süsinikdioksiid | |
| carbon dioxide (A colourless gas with a faint tingling smell and taste. Atmospheric carbon dioxide is the source of carbon for plants. As carbon dioxide is heavier than air and does not support combustion, it is used in fire extinguishers. It is a normal constituent of the atmosphere, relatively innocuous in itself but playing an important role in the greenhouse effect. It is produced during the combustion of fossil fuels when the carbon content of the fuels reacts with the oxygen during combustion. It is also produced when living organisms respire. It is essential for plant nutrition and in the ocean phytoplankton is capable of absorbing and releasing large quantities of the gas, CO2) | süsihappegaas | |
