| Terms for subject Environment (26920 entries) |
| Erdgasförderung | natural gas extraction | |
| Erdgasförderung | natural gas extraction (The tapping of natural gas from wells located under the sea and in general from underground sources often in association with petroleum deposits; it is used as a fuel, having largely replaced coal-gas for this purpose, and as a source of intermediates for organic synthesis) | |
| Erdgasreinigung | natural gas purification | |
| Erdgipfel | Conference on the Planet Earth | |
| Erdgipfel | Earth Summit | |
| Erdgipfel | Rio Summit | |
| Erdgipfel | UN Conference on Environment and Development | |
| Erdkruste | earth's crust (The outer layers of the Earth's structure, varying between 6 and 48 km in thickness, and comprising all the material above the Mohorovicic Discontinuity (a seismic discontinuity occurring between the crust of the earth and the underlying mantle; the discontinuity occurs at an average depth of 35 km below the continents and at about 10 km below the oceans). The earlier idea of a cool solid skin overlaying a hot molten interior has now been replaced by a concept of a crust composed of two shells: an inner basic unit composed of sima (oceanic crust) and an outer granitic unit composed of sial (continental crust)) | |
| Erdlagerung | landfill of waste | |
| erdnahe Atmosphäre | lower atmosphere | |
| Erdoel | petroleum oil | |
| Erdöl | petroleum (A comparatively volatile liquid bitumen composed principally of hydrocarbon, with traces of sulphur, nitrogen or oxygen compounds; can be removed from the earth in a liquid state) | |
| Erdölförderung | oil extraction (Recovery of oil by surface mining, as in tar sands or oil shales, or from tunnels in a shallow reservoir) | |
| Erdölförderung | mineral oil extraction | |
| Erdölgeologie | petroleum geology | |
| Erdölgeologie | petroleum geology (The branch of economic geology that relates to the origin, migration and accumulation of oil and gas, and to the discovery of commercial deposits. Its practice involves the application of geochemistry, geophysics, paleontology, structural geology and stratigraphy to the problems of finding hydrocarbons) | |
| Erdölindustrie | petroleum industry | |
| Erdölindustrie | petroleum industry (Manufacturing industry utilizing complex combination of interdependent operations engaged in the storage and transportation, separation of crude molecular constituents, molecular cracking, molecular rebuilding, and solvent finishing to produce petrochemical products) | |
| Erdölraffination | oil refining (The separation of petroleum mixtures into their component parts) | |
| Erdölverbrauch | petroleum consumption |
