Terms for subject Environment (5703 entries)
akarsudan elde edilen kaynaklar fluvial resource (Any source of supply derived from a river, particularly its water, which is collected, stored and treated, then distributed for domestic, industrial, farm and other uses)
akaryakıt istasyonu filling station (A place where petrol and other supplies for motorists are sold)
Akdeniz Mediterranean Sea (The largest inland sea between Europe, Africa and Asia, linked to the Atlantic Ocean at its western end by the Strait of Gibraltar, including the Tyrrhenian, Adriatic, Aegean and Ionian seas, and major islands such as Sicily, Sardina, Corsica, Crete, Malta and Cyprus)
Akdeniz ağaçları Mediterranean wood (A plant formation found in the Mediterranean area comprising mainly lowgrowing, xerophilous evergreen trees and shrubs. It results mainly from the deterioration of the original vegetation by grazing and burning)
Akdeniz Bölgesi Mediterranean Area (The collective islands and countries of the inland sea between Europe, Africa and Asia that is linked to the Atlantic Ocean at its western end by the Strait of Gibraltar and includes the Tyrrhenian, Adriatic, Aegean and Ionian seas)
Akdeniz iklimi Mediterranean climate (A type of climate characterized by hot, dry, sunny summers and a winter rainy season; basically, this is the opposite of a monsoon climate. Also known as etesian climate)
Akdeniz ormanları Mediterranean forest (Type of forest found in the Mediterranean area comprising mainly xerophilous evergreen trees)
akifer aquifer (Layers of rock, sand or gravel that can absorb water and allow it to flow. An aquifer acts as a groundwater reservoir when the underlying rock is impermeable. This may be tapped by wells for domestic, agricultural or industrial use. A serious environmental problem arises when the aquifer is contaminated by the seepage of sewage or toxins from waste dumps. If the groundwater in coastal areas is over-used salt water can seep into the aquifer)
akım ölçümü stream measurement (The quantitative determination of the rate and amount of flow or discharge from a natural body of running water, such as a small river or brook)
akıntı flow (The forward continuous movement of a fluid through closed or open channels or conduits)
akıntı rejimi discharge regime (The rate of flow of a river at a particular moment in time, related to its volume and its velocity)
akış alanı flow field (The velocity and the density of a fluid as functions of position and time)
akışkan yatak fluidised bed (1. A system for burning solid carbonaceous fuel efficiently and at a relatively low temperature, thus minimizing the emission of pollutants. The fuel is crushed to very small particles or a powder and mixed with particles of an inert material. The mixture is fed into a bed through which air is pumped vertically upwards, agitating the particles so they behave like a fluid. The forced circulation of air and the small size and separation of fuel particles ensures efficient burning. 2. A bed of finely divided solid through which air or a gas is blown in a controlled manner so that it behaves as a liquid)
akışkanlar fluidics (A control technology that employs fluid dynamic phenomena to perform sensing, control, information, processing, and actuation functions without the use of moving mechanical parts)
akışkanlaştırma fluidization (A roasting process in which finely divided solids are suspended in a rising current of air (or other fluid), producing a fluidized bed; used in the calcination of various materials, in the coal industry, etc.)
akit act (1. Something done voluntarily by a person, and of such a nature that certain legal consequences attach to it. 2. Documents, decrees, edicts, laws, judgments, etc.)
akit treaty (An international agreement in writing between two states or a number of states. Treaties are binding in international law; some treaties create law only for those states that are parties to them)
aktif çamur activated sludge (Sludge that has been aerated and subjected to bacterial action; used to speed breakdown of organism matter in raw sewage during secondary waste treatment)
aktif karbon activated carbon (A powdered, granular or pelleted form of amorphous carbon characterized by a very large surface area per unit volume because of an enormous number of fine pores)
aktif katılım active participation (The involvement, either by an individual or a group of individuals, in their own governance or other activities, with the purpose of exerting influence)
