Terms for subject Environment (5949 entries)
hondo-zarata background noise (Noise coming from source other than the noise source being monitored)
hondoko itsaso swell (A regular movement of marine waves created by wind stress in the open ocean which travels considerable distances away from the generating field and into another wind field. The waves are characterized by relatively smooth, generally unbroken, crests and a fairly regular wavelength, but swell increases in wavelength and decreases in wave height as it moves away from the generating area. Local wind waves may be superimposed upon swell waves as they approach a coastline, thereby creating sharper crests and a choppy sea)
hormigoi concrete (A mixture of aggregate, water, and a binder, usually Portland cement; it hardens to stonelike condition when dry)
hormigoi-produktuen industria concrete products industry (No definition needed)
hornitze-plan equipment plan (A formulated or systematic method for the supply of material necessities such as tools, gear, provisions or furnishings)
hostaila foliage (The green leaves of a plant)
hosto zabaleko zuhaitz broad-leaved tree (Deciduous tree which has wide leaves, as opposed to the needles on conifers)
hostotza foliage (The green leaves of a plant)
hots sound (Auditory sensation produced by the oscillations, stress, pressure, particle displacement, and particle velocity in a medium with internal forces; pressure variation that the human ear can detect)
hotz cold (No definition needed)
hozgarri refrigerant (A substance that by undergoing a change in phase (liquid to gas, gas to liquid) releases or absorbs a large latent heat in relation to its volume, and thus effects a considerable cooling effect)
hozi embryo (An early stage of development in multicellular organisms)
hozi-plasma germ plasm (The hereditary material transmitted to the offspring via the gametes)
hozitze germination (The beginning or the process of development of a spore or seed)
hozkailu refrigerator (An appliance, a cabinet, or a room for storing food or other substances at a low temperature)
hozte cooling (Setting aside a highly radioactive material until the radioactivity has diminished to a desired level)
hozte refrigeration (The cooling of substances, usually food, below the environmental temperature for preservative purposes. Refrigeration is responsible for the largest and fastest-growing use of CFCs in the developing world. The industrial countries, and some developing countries, have taken exceptional steps to control and, eventually, ban the production of CFCs and other ozone-depleting materials by the year 2000. However, many developing nations have not signed the Montreal Protocol because they are afraid that the cost of changing over to alternative, ozone-friendly technology will be too high)
hozte-industria refrigeration industry (No definition needed)
hozteko dorre cooling tower (A device that aids in heat removal from water used as a coolant in electric power generating plants)
hozteko olio cooling oil (Oil used as a cooling agent, either with forced circulation or with natural circulation)
