Terms for subject Environment (5719 entries)
sagflis sawdust (Wood fragments made by a saw in cutting)
saksedyr dermapteran
saksedyr earwig (Any of various insects of the order Dermaptera, especially Forficula auricularia, which typically have an elongated body with small leathery forewings, semicircular membranous hindwings, and curved forceps at the tip of the abdomen)
salamander salamander (Any of various urodele amphibians, such as Salamandra salamandra of central and S Europe. They are typically terrestrial, have an elongated body, and only return to water to breed)
salgbar tillatelse tradeable permit (Tradable emissions permits are used in an environmental regulatory scheme where the sources of the pollutant to be regulated (most often an air pollutant) are given permits to release a specified number of tons of the pollutant. The government issues only a limited number of permits consistent with the desired level of emissions. The owners of the permits may keep them and release the pollutants, or reduce their emissions and sell the permits. The fact that the permits have value as an item to be sold gives the owner an incentive to reduce their emissions)
salmonella salmonella (General name for a family of microorganisms, one of the largest groups of bacteria, that includes those most frequently implicated in food poisoning and gastroenteritis. Unhygienic handling and inadequate cooking of poultry and meat, improper storage of cold meats and, more recently, contamination of battery-reared hen eggs, are the most common sources of salmonella infections)
salt salt (The reaction product when a metal displaces the hydrogen of an acid)
saltavsetningssted salina (A place where crystalline salt deposits are formed or found, such as a salt flat or pan, a salada, or a salt lick)
saltbelastning salt load
saltgruvedrift rock salt mining (Rock salt mining is an underground mining process in which the salt is physically dug out of the ground in an operation involving drilling, blasting and crushing the rock. The major percentage of this output is used for winter road maintenance)
saltinnhold i jord soil salinity (Measurement of the quantity of mineral salts found in a soil. Many semi-arid and arid areas are naturally salty. By definition they are areas of substantial water deficit where evapotranspiration exceeds precipitation. Thus, whereas in humid areas there is sufficient water to percolate through the soil and to leach soluble materials from the soil and the rocks into the rivers and hence into the sea, in deserts this is not the case. Salts therefore tend to accumulate)
saltkonsentrasjon salt content (Amount of salt contained in a solution)
saltkonsentrasjon i vann water salinity (The degree of dissolved salts in water measured by weight in parts per thousand)
saltplugg salt plug (A mass of salt which is injected as a diapir (a dome in which the overlying rocks have been ruptured by the squeezing-out of plastic core material) into overlying sedimentary rocks, thereby piercing and deforming them. The mechanism is similar to that of an intrusive magma, with the salt deforming and behaving plastically under pressure. It is of great economic importance because it assists in the formation of a "trap" structure for oil accumulation, in addition to its associated deposits of anhydrite, gypsum and sulphur)
saltsump salt marsh (Areas of brackish, shallow water usually found in coastal areas and in deltas. There are also inland marshes in arid areas where the water has a high salt level because of evaporation. They are environmentally delicate areas, extremely vulnerable to pollution by industrial or agricultural chemicals, or to thermal pollution, which often results when river water has been used as the coolant in power stations and industrial plants)
saltsyre hydrochloric acid (A solution of hydrogen chloride gas in water; a poisonous, pungent liquid forming a constant-boiling mixture at 20% concentration in water; widely used as a reagent, in organic synthesis, in acidizing oil wells, ore reduction, food processing, and metal cleaning and pickling. Also known as muriatic acid, HCl)
saltvann salt water (Water of the seas, distinguished by high salinity)
saltvannsfiske marine fishery (The harvest of animals and plants from the ocean to provide food and recreation for people, food for animals, and a variety of organic materials for industry)
samarbeid co-operation
samarbeidspolitikk co-operation policy (Political course of action aiming at establishing trade agreements among the states)
