| Terms for subject Environment (5582 entries) |
| estat dels residus | state of waste | |
| estat gasós | gaseous state (State of matter in which the matter concerned occupies the whole of its container irrespective of its quantity) | |
| estat líquid | liquid state (A state of matter intermediate between that of crystalline substances and gases in which a substance has the capacity to flow under extremely small shear stresses and conforms to the shape of a confining vessel, but is relatively incompressible, lacks the capacity to expand without limit, and can posses a free surface) | |
| estat sòlid | solid state (The physical state of matter in which the constituent molecules, atoms, or ions have no translatory motion although they vibrate about the fixed positions that they occupy in a crystal lattice) | |
| estatut d'ecologia urbana | urban ecology charter (A graphic representation of a city area or other densely populated region, portraying the location of groups or select types of people in their environment through various geographic techniques) | |
| esterilització | sterilisation (biological, Procedure by which a human or other animal is made incapable of reproduction) | |
| esteroide | steroid (A compound composed of a series of four carbon rings joined together to form a structural unit called cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene) | |
| estètica | aesthetics (Considerations, values, and judgements pertaining to the quality of the human perceptual experience (including sight, sound, smell, touch, taste, and movement) evoked by phenomena or components of the environment) | |
| estrat límit | boundary layer (The layer of fluid adjacent to a physical boundary in which the fluid motion is significantly affected by the boundary and has a mean velocity less than the free stream value) | |
| estratificació | stratification (The arrangement of a body of water, as a lake, into two or more horizontal layers of different characteristics, especially densities) | |
| estratificació atmosfèrica | atmospheric layering (Any one of a number of strata or layers of the earth's atmosphere; temperature distribution is the most common criterion used for denoting the various shell. Also known as atmospheric shell; atmospheric region) | |
| estratosfera | stratosphere (The layer of the atmosphere which is sandwiched between the troposphere and mesosphere. Of the energy that reaches the Earth from the sun, only 3% is absorbed in the stratosphere, but that includes the vitally important process of absorption of ultraviolet radiation by the stratospheric ozone layer. The stratosphere is cloudless and dust free, and almost unaffected by the turbulent conditions of the underlying level of the atmosphere) | |
| estrès | stress (A stimulus or succession of stimuli of such magnitude as to tend to disrupt the homeostasis of the organism) | |
| estrès urbà | urban stress (A state of bodily or mental tension developed through city living, or the physical, chemical, or emotional factors that give rise to that tension) | |
| estronci | strontium (A soft silvery-white element of the alkaline earth group of metals, occurring chiefly as celestite and as strontianite. Its compounds burn with a crimson flame and are used in fire works) | |
| estructura atmosfèrica | atmospheric structure (The gaseous area surrounding the planet is divided into several concentric spherical strata (layers, like shells) separated by narrow transition zones. The boundaries are know as "pause". More than 99% of the total atmospheric mass is concentrated in the first 40 km from the Earth's surface. Atmospheric layers are characterized by differences in chemical composition that produce variations in temperature) | |
| estructura de l'empresa | company structure (The type of organization of a company. Three kinds of structure are usually recognized: centralized, formal or hierarchical) | |
| estructura de la població | population structure (The organization of, and inter-relationships among, inhabitants of a given region, country or city) | |
| estructura del sòl | soil structure (The combination or aggregation of primary soil particles into aggregates or clusters, which are separated from adjoining peds by surfaces of weakness. Soil structure is classified on the basis of size, shape, and distinctness into classes, types, and grades) | |
| estructura del treball | employment structure (The organization and proportions of the various job types and skill levels in an enterprise or economy) |
