| Terms for subject Environment (6407 entries) |
| karbonato | carbonate (A salt or ester of carbonic acid) | |
| karbono | 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 dioxidoaren gaineko zerga | 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 organiko | organic carbon (Carbon which comes from an animal or plant) | |
| karbono organiko disolbatu | dissolved organic carbon (The fraction of total organic carbon (all carbon atoms covalently bonded in organic molecules) in water that passes through a 0.45 micron pore-diameter filter) | |
| karbono organikoaren guztizko | total organic carbon (The amount of carbon covalently bound in organic compounds in a water sample) | |
| karbonoIV oxido | 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) | |
| karbonoII oxido | 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) | |
| karbonoaren ziklo | 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) | |
| karburol | gasohol (A mixture of 80% or 90% petrol with 20% or 10% ethyl alcohol, for use as a fuel in internal combustion engines) | |
| kardiologia | cardiology (The study of the heart) | |
| kare | lime (Any of various mineral and industrial forms of calcium oxide differing chiefly in water content and percentage of constituent such as silica, alumina and iron) | |
| kareharri | limestone (A sedimentary rock consisting chiefly of calcium carbonate, primarily in the form of the mineral calcite and with or without magnesium carbonate. Limestones are formed by either organic or inorganic processes, and may be detrital, chemical, oolitic, earthy, crystalline, or recrystallized; many are highly fossiliferous and clearly represent ancient shell banks or coral reefs) | |
| karga iraunkor | continuous load (The amount or quantity of polluting material found in a transporting agent that flows at a steady rate, in contrast to a sudden or dramatic influx) | |
| karga kritiko | critical load (The maximum load that a given system can tolerate before failing) | |
| karga negoziagarri | negotiable charge | |
| karga-ahalmen ekologiko | ecological carrying capacity (1. The maximum number of species an area can support during the harshest part of the year, or the maximum biomass it can support indefinitely. 2. The maximum number of grazing animals an area can support without deterioration) | |
| karga-baremo finko | fixed schedule of charges | |
| Karibe | 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) | |
| karst | karst (1. A German rendering of a Serbo-Croat term referring to the terrain created by limestone solution and characterized by a virtual absence of surface drainage, a series of surface hollows, depressions and fissures, collapse structures, and an extensive subterranean drainage network. 2. A type of topography that is formed on limestone, gypsum, and other rocks by dissolution, and that is characterized by sinkholes, caves, and underground drainage. Etymology: German, from the Yugoslavian territory Krs; type locality, a limestone plateau in the Dinaric Alps of northwestern Yugoslavia and northeastern Italy) |
