| Terms for subject Environment (5949 entries) |
| 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) | automobilen pneumatiko | |
| carbohydrate (Any of the group of organic compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, including sugars, starches and celluloses) | karbohidrato | |
| carbon (A nonmetallic element existing in the three crystalline forms: graphite, diamond and buckminsterfullerene: occurring in carbon dioxide, coal, oil and all organic compounds) | karbono | |
| 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) | karbonoaren ziklo | |
| 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) | karbonoIV oxido | |
| carbon dioxide tax (Compulsory charges levied on fuels to reduce the output of carbon dioxide (CO2), which is a colourless and odourless gas substance that is incombustible) | karbono dioxidoaren gaineko zerga | |
| carbon monoxide (Colorless, odourless, tasteless, non-corrosive, highly poisonous gas of about the same density as that of air. Very flammable, burning in air with bright blue flame. Although each molecule of CO has one carbon atom and one oxygen atom, it has a shape similar to that of an oxygen molecule (two atoms of oxygen), which is important with regard to it's lethality, CO) | karbonoII oxido | |
| carbonate (A salt or ester of carbonic acid) | karbonato | |
| carcass disposal (The disposal of slaughtered animals, other dead animal bodies and animal body parts after removal of the offal products) | hiliki-ezabaketa | |
| carcinogen (A substance that causes cancer in humans and animals) | kartzinogeno | |
| carcinogen (A substance that causes cancer in humans and animals) | kantzerigeno | |
| carcinogenicity (The ability or tendency of a substance or physical agent to cause or produce cancer) | kartzinogenotasun | |
| carcinogenicity (The ability or tendency of a substance or physical agent to cause or produce cancer) | kantzerigenotasun | |
| carcinogenicity test (Test for assessing if a chemical or physical agent increases the risk of cancer. The three major ways of testing for carcinogens are animals tests, epidemiological studies and bacterial tests) | kantzerigenotasun-proba | |
| cardiology (The study of the heart) | kardiologia | |
| cardiovascular disease | gaixotasun kardiobaskular | |
| cardiovascular system (Those structures, including the heart and blood vessels, which provide channels for the flow of blood) | sistema kardiobaskular | |
| Caribbean Area (A geographical region bordered on the south by South America and Panama, and on the west by Central America, and consisting of the West Indian, and nearby, islands and the Caribbean Sea, a part of the western Atlantic Ocean) | Karibe | |
| carnivore (An animal that eats meat) | haragijale | |
| carry-over effect (Effect caused by the successive passages of polluting substances through the different organisms of a food chain) | hondar-efektu |
