| Karību reģions | 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) | |
| karjers | quarry (An open or surface working or excavation for the extraction of building stone, ore, coal, gravel, or minerals) | |
| karjeru izstrāde | quarrying (The surface exploitation and removal of stone or mineral deposits from the earth's crust) | |
| karš | war (A conflict or a state of hostility between two or more parties, nations or states, in which armed forces or military operations are used) | |
| karsts | 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) | |
| karsts ūdens | hot water (No definition needed) | |
| karstums | heat (physics, A form of energy that is transferred by a difference in temperature: it is equal to the total kinetic energy of the atoms or molecules of a system) | |
| karšu diagramma | map chart (A map, generally designed for navigation or other particular purposes, in which essential map information is combined with various other data critical to the intended use) | |
| karte | chart (A map for navigation that delineates a portion of the sea, indicating the outline of the coasts and the position of rocks, sandbanks and other parts of a sea; nautical) | |
| karte | map (A representation, normally on a flat medium, that displays the physical and political features of a surface area of the earth, showing them in their respective forms, sizes and relationships according to some convention of representation) | |
| kartēšana | mapping (The process of making a map of an area; especially the field work necessary for the production of a map) | |
| kartogrāfija | cartography (The making of maps and charts for the purpose of visualizing spatial distributions over various areas of the earth) | |
| Kaspijas jūra | Caspian Sea (No definition needed) | |
| kastanis | chestnut (Any north temperate fagaceous tree of the genus Castanea, such as Castanea sativa, which produce flowers in long catkins and nuts in a prickly bur) | |
| katalītisks pārveidotājs | catalytic converter (Catalytic converters are designed to clean up the exhaust fumes from petrol-driven vehicles, which are otherwise the major threat to air quality standards in congested urban streets and on motorways. Converters remove carbon monoxide, the unburned hydrocarbons and the oxides of nitrogen. These compounds are damaging to human health and the environment in a variety of ways. The converter is attached to the vehicle' s exhaust near the engine. Exhaust gases pass through the cellular ceramic substrate, a honeycomb-like filter. While compact, the intricate honeycomb structure provides a surface area of 23.000 square metres. This is coated with a thin layer of platinum, palladium and rhodium metals, which act as catalysts that simulate a reaction to changes in the chemical composition of the gases. Platinum and palladium convert hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide and water vapour. Rhodium changes nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons into nitrogen and water, which are harmless) | |
| katalizators | catalytic converter | |
| katalizators | catalyst (A substance whose presence alters the rate at which a chemical reaction proceeds, but whose own composition remains unchanged by the reaction. Catalysts are usually employed to accelerate reactions(positive catalyst), but retarding (negative) catalysts are also used) | |
| katalīze | catalysis (A phenomenon in which a relatively small amount of substance augments the rate of a chemical reaction without itself being consumed) | |
| katastrofa | catastrophe (A sudden, widespread disaster or calamity that greatly exceeds the resources of an area or region) | |
| katastrofa | disaster (The result of a vast ecological breakdown in the relations between man and his environment, a serious and sudden event (or slow, as in drought) on such a scale that the stricken community needs extraordinary efforts to cope with it, often with outside help or international aid) |
