| Terms for subject Environment (6407 entries) |
| code (A systematic collection, compendium or revision of laws, rules, or regulations. A private or official compilation of all permanent laws in force consolidated and classified according to subject matter. Many states have published official codes of all laws in force, including the common law and statutes as judicially interpreted, which have been compiled by code commissions and enacted by the legislatures) | kode | |
| code of practice (A systematic collection of procedures outlining the established method of application of all relevant laws, rules or regulations to a specific endeavor) | praktika-kode | |
| codification (The process of collecting and arranging systematically, usually by subject, the laws of a state or country, or the rules and regulations covering a particular area or subject of law or practice) | kodetze | |
| coelenterate (Animals that have a single body cavity (the coelenteron). The name was formerly given to a phylum comprising the Cnidaria and Ctenophora, but these are now regarded as phyla in their own right, and the name Coelenterata has fallen from use, although it is sometimes used as a synonym for Cnidaria) | zelenteratu | |
| cogeneration (Usually the generation of heat in the form of steam, and the generation of power in the form of electricity. Combined heat and power plants are able to convert a much higher proportion of the energy in fuel into final output. The steam produced may be used through heat exchangers in a district heating scheme, while the electricity provides lighting and power) | baterako sorkuntza | |
| coke (A coherent, cellular, solid residue remaining from the dry distillation of a coking coal or of pitch, petroleum, petroleum residue, or other carbonaceous materials; contains carbon as its principal constituent) | koke | |
| cold (No definition needed) | hotz | |
| cold zone ecosystem (The interacting system of a biological community and its non-living environmental surroundings located in climatic regions where the air temperature is below 10° Celsius for eight to eleven months of the year) | eskualde hotzeko ekosistema | |
| coliform bacterium (A group of bacteria that are normally abundant in the intestinal tracts of human and other warm-blooded animals and are used as indicators (being measured as the number of individuals found per millilitre of water) when testing the sanitary quality of water) | bakterio koliforme | |
| collective wastewater treatment | hondakin-uren tratamendu kolektibo | |
| collective wastewater treatment | hondakin-uren baterako tratamendu | |
| colloid (An intimate mixture of two substances, one of which, called the dispersed phase, is uniformly distributed in a finely divided state through the second substance, called the dispersion medium) | koloide | |
| colloidal state (A system of particles in a dispersion medium, with properties distinct from those of a true solution because of the larger size of the particles. The presence of these particles can often be detected by means of the ultramicroscope) | egoera koloidal | |
| colonization (The successful invasion of a new habitat by a species) | kolonizazio | |
| colour (An attribute of things that results from the light they reflect, transmit, or emit in so far as this light causes a visual sensation that depends on its wavelengths) | kolore | |
| colour composition (A remote-sensing term referring to the process of assigning different colours to different spectral bands. The colour picture formed by this process is called a "colour composite" (a colour image produced through optical combination of multiband images by projection through filters) and is produced by assigning a colour to an image of the Earth's surface recorded in a particular waveband. For a Landsat colour composite, the green waveband is coloured blue, the red waveband is coloured green and the infrared waveband is coloured red. This produces an image closely approximating a false colour photograph. Colour composite images are easier to interpret than separate images recording different wavebands. US national experimental crop inventories are based upon visual interpretation of Landsat colour composites) | osaera kromatiko | |
| colourimetry (Any technique by which an unknown colour is evaluated in terms of standard colours; the technique may be visual, photoelectric or indirect by means of spectrophotometry) | kolorimetria | |
| colubrid (Any snakes of the family of Colubridae, including many harmless snakes, such as the grass snake and whip belonging to the Colubridae) | suge | |
| combination effect (A combined effect of two or more substances or organisms which is greater than the sum of the individual effect of each) | konbinatze-ondorio | |
| combined cycle-power station (This type of plant is flexible in response and can be built in the 100-600 MW capacity range. It produces electrical power from both a gas turbine (ca. 1300°C gas inlet temperature), fuelled by natural gas or oil plus a steam turbine supplied with the steam generated by the 500°C exhaust gases from the gas turbine. The thermal efficiency of these stations is ca. 50 per cent compared with a maximum of 40 per cent from steam turbine coal fired power stations. This type of plant can be built in two years compared with six years for a coal-fired station and 10-15 years for nuclear) | ziklo konbinatuko zentral elektriko |
