| Terms for subject Environment (6786 entries) |
| scientific ecology (The study of the interrelationship among living organisms and between organisms and their environment, utilizing the methods or theories of science) | zinātniskā ekoloģija | |
| scientific policy (A course of action adopted and pursued by government, business or some other organization, which promotes or determines the direction for the systematic study, research and experimentation of a particular aspect of the physical or material world, which may lead to scholarly contributions in a branch of knowledge) | zinātnes politika | |
| scientific research (Systematic investigation to establish facts or principles concerning a specific scientific subject) | zinātniskais pētījums | |
| scoping procedure (The prescribed step or manner of proceeding in an environmental impact assessment, by which a public discussion is held to discuss the information that needs to be developed, the alternatives that need to be considered and other important environmental issues) | ekoloģiskās ekspertīzes veikšanas kārtības noteikšana | |
| SCP/SIP Action Plan | ilgtspējīga patēriņa un ražošanas un ilgtspējīgas rūpniecības politikas rīcības plāns | |
| scrap dump (Area where waste material, especially metal, is dumped) | atkritumu izgāztuve | |
| scrap material (Recyclable material from any manufacturing process or discarded consumer products) | metāllūžņos izmetams materiāls | |
| scrap material market (The trade or traffic in discarded or leftover materials that can be reused in some way) | nederīgo materiālu tirgus | |
| scrap material price (The amount of money or the monetary rate at which materials discarded from manufacturing operations can be bought or sold) | nederīgo materiālu cena | |
| scrap metal (Any metal material discarded from manufacturing operations and usually suitable for reprocessing) | metāllūžņi | |
| scrap tyre (Recyclable material from discarded motor vehicle tyres) | otrreizējai izmantošanai pārstrādājams materiāls no transportlīdzekļu riepām | |
| scrap vehicle (Car which is delivered for breaking up or otherwise discarded) | metāllūžņos sagriežams transportlīdzeklis | |
| screening (The reduction of the electric field about a nucleus by the space charge of the surrounding electrons) | ekranēšana | |
| sea (1. In general, the marine section of the globe as opposed to that of the land. 2. The name given to a body of salt water smaller than an ocean and generally in proximity to a continent) | jūra | |
| sea bed (The bottom of the ocean. Also known as sea floor; sea bottom. The ocean floor is defined as the near-horizontal surface of the ocean basin) | jūras gultne | |
| sea bed exploitation (Marine mineral resources extend far beyond those presently exploited; minerals are derived from two separate types of marine sources: from sedimentary deposits underlying the continental shelves and from inshore deposits on the surface of the continental shelves. By far the most valuable of the mineral resources exploited from marine environments is petroleum. Offshore placer deposits on the surface of the continental shelves yield gold, platinum, and tin. On the floors of the world's oceans manganese nodules are found as a result of pelagic sedimentation or precipitation; they are small, irregular, black to brown, friable, laminated concretionary masses consisting primarily of manganese salts and manganese-oxide minerals) | jūras gultnes izmantošana | |
| sea bed mining (The activity or processes involving the extraction of mineral deposits from the surface, or below the surface, of the ocean floor) | jūras gultnes resursu ieguve | |
| sea circulation (Large-scale horizontal water motion within an ocean. The way energy from the sun, stored in the sea, is transported around the world. The currents explain, for example, why the UK has ice-free ports in winter, while St. Petersburg, at the same latitude as the Shetland Islands, needs ice breakers. Evidence is growing that the world's ocean circulation was very different during the last ice age and has changed several times in the distant past, with dramatic effects on climate. The oceans are vital as storehouses, as they absorb more than half the sun's heat reaching the earth. This heat, which is primarily absorbed near the equator is carried around the world and released elsewhere, creating currents which last up to 1.000 years. As the Earth rotates and the wind acts upon the surface, currents carry warm tropical water to the cooler parts of the world. The strength and direction of the currents are affected by landmasses, bottlenecks through narrow straits, and even the shape of the sea-bed. When the warm water reaches polar regions its heat evaporates into the atmosphere, reducing its temperature and increasing its density. When sea-water freezes it leaves salt behind in the unfrozen water and this cold water sinks into the ocean and begins to flow back to the tropics. Eventually it is heated and begins the cycle all over again) | jūras ūdens cirkulācija | |
| sea grass bed (Seaweeds communities formed by green, brown and red macroscopic algae and by sea phanerogams such as Posidonia oceanica and Zostera noltii, etc.) | ūdensaugi | |
| sea level (The level of the surface of the ocean; especially, the mean level halfway between high and low tide, used as a standard in reckoning land elevation or sea depths) | jūras līmenis |
