| organosilicon compound (Any natural substance composed of two or more unlike atoms held together by chemical bonds and containing silicon, a non-metallic element often found in rocks or minerals) | silicio organinis junginys | |
| organosulphur compound (One of a group of substances which contain both carbon and sulfur) | organinis sieros junginys | |
| organotin compound (Chemical compounds used in anti-foulant paints to protect the hulls of boats and ships, buoys and pilings from marine organisms such as barnacles) | organinis alavinis junginys | |
| ornithology (The branch of zoology that deals with the study of birds, including their physiology, classification, ecology, and behaviour) | ornitologija | |
| orography (A rarely used word referring to the study of mountain systems and the depiction of their relief) | orografija | |
| orthopteran (A heterogeneous order of generalized insects with gradual metamorphosis, chewing mouthparts, and four wings) | tiesiasparnis | |
| Oslo Convention | Konvencija dėl jūros taršos laidojant medžiagas iš laivų ir orlaivių | |
| osmosis (The passage of a solvent through a semipermeable membrane separating two solutions of different concentrations. A semipermeable membrane is one through which the molecules of a solvent can pass but the molecules of most solutes cannot. There is a thermodynamic tendency for solutions separated by such a membrane to become equal in concentration, the water (or other solvent) flowing from the weaker to the stronger solution. Osmosis will stop when the two solutions reach equal concentration, and can also be stopped by applying a pressure to the liquid on the stronger-solution side of the membrane. The pressure required to stop the flow from a pure solvent into a solution is a characteristic of the solution, and is called the osmotic pressure. Osmotic pressure depends only on the concentration of particles in the solution, not on their nature) | osmosas | |
| outer space (allocation plan, Area out of closed settlements or building, area out of closed settlements or building) | išorinė erdvė | |
| oven (An enclosed heated compartment usually lined with a refractory material used for drying substances, firing ceramics, heat-treating, etc.) | krosnis | |
| overall efficiency | bendras naudingumas | |
| overburden (The material such as soil and rock lying above a mineral deposit that must be removed in order to work the deposit) | perkrova | |
| overcrowding (An excess of people gathered together in a confined space) | gyventojų perteklius | |
| overexploitation (The use of raw materials excessively without considering the long-term ecological impacts of such use) | besaikis naudojimas | |
| overfertilisation (Putting too much fertilizer on land; the runoff from overfertilisation can cause water pollution) | pertręšimas | |
| overfishing (Taking out of the sea more than natural population growth can sustain. Overfishing has a number of causes, the most ruthless being "chronic over capacity" of modern fishing fleets to effectively take far more fish than can be replaced) | žuvies pergaudymas | |
| overfishing | pergaudymas | |
| overflow (outlet, Any device or structure that conducts excess water or sewage from a conduit or container) | pralaida | |
| overgrazing (Intensive grazing by animals, for example cattle, sheep or goats, on an area of pasture. It has become a serious threat to the world's rangelands and grasslands. Several factors have led to overgrazing, which leads to the soil being degraded and becoming liable to erosion by wind and rain, and even to desertification. The main pressures leading to widespread overgrazing have been the need to increase the size and numbers of herds to produce more food for an increasing human population, and the transformation of traditional pasture land into plantations to grow cash crops. Throughout the dry tropics, where traditionally herds ranged over vast areas, intensive livestock-rearing schemes have taken over, mostly to provide meat for the export market. Well-digging operations have also led to heavy concentrations of animals in small areas) | per didelis nuganymas | |
| overhead power line (Suspended cables by which electrical power is distributed throughout a country) | pakabinami elektros laidai |
