Terms for subject Environment (13731 entries)
hydroculture (Growing plants without soil but in sand or vermiculite or other granular material, using a liquid solution of nutrients to feed them) hidroponika
hydroelectric energy (The free renewable source of energy provided by falling water that drives the turbines. Hydropower is the most important of the regenerable energy sources because of its highest efficiency at the energy conversion. There are two types of hydroelectric power plants: 1. run-of-river power plants for the use of affluent water; 2. storage power plants (power stations with reservoir) where the influx can be regulated with the help of a reservoir. Mostly greater differences in altitudes are being used, like mountain creeks. Power stations with reservoirs are generally marked by barrages with earth fill dam or concrete dams. Though hydropower generally can be called environmentally acceptable, there exist also some problems: 1. change of groundwater level and fill up of the river bed with rubble. 2. Risk of dam breaks. 3. Great demand for land space for the reservoir. 4. Diminution, but partly also increase of value of recreation areas. As the hydropowers of the world are limited,the world energy demand however is rising, finally the share of hydropower will decrease) hidroelektrinės energija
hydroelectric power plant (Power station which operates with the free renewable source of energy provided by falling water) hidroelektrinė
hydrofluorocarbon hidrofluorangliavandenilis
hydrofluorocarbon-23 trifluormetanas
hydrogen (A flammable colourless gas that is the lightest and most abundant element in the universe. It occurs mainly in water and in most organic compounds and is used in the production of ammonia and other chemicals, in the hydrogenation of fats and oils, and in welding) vandenilis
hydrogen sulphide (Flammable, poisonous gas with characteristic odour of rotten eggs, perceptible in air in a dilution of 0.002 mg/l. It is used as a reagent in chemical analysis; extremely hazardous; collapse, coma and death from respiratory failure may come within a few seconds after one or two inspirations; low concentrations produce irritation of conjunctiva and mucous membranes. Headache, dizziness, nausea, lassitude may appear after exposure, H2S) vandenilio sulfidas
hydrogeology (The science dealing with the occurrence of surface and ground water, its utilization, and its functions in modifying the earth, primarily by erosion and deposition) hidrogeologija
hydrographic basin (1. The drainage basin of a stream. 2. An area occupied by a lake and its drainage basin) hidrografinis baseinas
hydrographic network (The configuration or arrangement in plan view of the natural stream courses in an area. It is related to local geologic and geomorphologic features and history. Synonym: drainage pattern) hidrografinis tinklas
hydrography (Science which deals with the measurement and description of the physical features of the oceans, lakes, rivers, and their adjoining coastal areas, with particular reference to their control and utilization) hidrografija
hydrologic balance (An accounting of the inflow to, outflow from, and storage in a hydrologic unit such as a drainage basin, aquifer, soil zone, lake or reservoir; the relationship between evaporation, precipitation, runoff, and the change in water storage) hidrologinė pusiausvyra
hydrologic cycle (The movement of water between the oceans, ground surface and atmosphere by evaporation, precipitation and the activity of living organisms, as one of the mayor biogeochemical cycles. Each day water evaporates from the oceans and is carried in the air from the sea over the land, which receives it as precipitation, and finally returns from the land to the sea through rivers, thus completing the cycle) hidrologinis ciklas
hydrologic disaster (Violent, sudden and destructive change either in the quality of the earth's water or in the distribution or movement of water on land, below the surface or in the atmosphere) hidrologinė katastrofa
hydrologic flow (The characteristic behaviour and the total quantity of water involved in a drainage basin, determined by measuring such quantities as rainfall, surface and subsurface storage and flow, and evapotranspiration) hidrologinis srautas
hydrology (The science that treats the occurrence, circulation, distribution, and properties of the waters of the earth, and their reaction with the environment) hidrologija
hydrolysis (1. Decomposition or alteration of a chemical substance by water. 2. In aqueous solutions of electrolytes, the reactions of cations with water to produce a weak base or of anions to produce a weak acid) hidrolizė
hydrometeorology (That part of meteorology of direct concern to hydrologic problems, particularly to flood control, hydroelectric power, irrigation, and similar fields of engineering and water resource) hidrometeorologija
hydrometry (The science and technology of measuring specific gravities, particularly of liquids) hidrometrija
hydrosphere (The waters of the Earth, as distinguished from the rocks (lithosphere), living things (biosphere), and the air (atmosphere). Includes the waters of the ocean; rivers, lakes, and other bodies of surface water in liquid form on the continents; snow, ice, and glaciers; and liquid water, ice, and water vapour in both the unsaturated and saturated zones below the land surface. Included by some, but excluded by others, is water in the atmosphere , which includes water vapour, clouds, and all forms of precipitation while still in the atmosphere) hidrosfera
