| Terms for subject Environment (5171 entries) |
| havn | harbour (Area of water next to the coast, often surrounded by thick walls, where ships and boats can be sheltered) | |
| havnivå | 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) | |
| havnivåstigning | rising sea level (Sea level rises are a possible consequence of global warming. As the amount of free water in the ocean increases, and as the water becomes warmer, global warming will increase. In addition, according to theory, the heating at the poles may reduce the amount of water trapped in glaciers and ice caps. By the year 3000, the seas could rise between one and two metres. Such an event would clearly threaten low-lying areas, particularly in Asia, where million of people live and farm on river deltas and flood plains) | |
| havstigning | sea level rise (Sea-level rises are a possible consequence of global warming. As the amount of free water in the oceans increases, and as the water becomes warmer, global warming will increase. In addition, according to theory, the heating at the poles may reduce the amount of water trapped in glaciers and ice caps) | |
| havstrand | seashore (The zone of unconsolidated material that extends landward from the low water-line to where there is marked change in material or physiographic form or to the line of permanent vegetation) | |
| havstrøm | ocean current (A net transport of ocean water along a definable path) | |
| havtemperatur | ocean temperature (A measure, referenced to a standard value, of the heat or coldness in a body of oceanic water) | |
| hei | moor (A tract of unenclosed waste ground, usually covered with heather, coarse grass, bracken, and moss) | |
| heilandskap | heathland (An area with poor acid soil, typically dominated by ling (Calluna) or heaths (Erica)) | |
| hekk | hedge (A line of closely planted bushes or shrubs, marking the boundaries of a field. The type of hedge varies between parts of the country, and its age can be dated from the number of species of tree and shrub present. Over the last thirty years hedge-row removal has had a marked visual effect on lowland agricultural landscapes. From the farmer's point of view, in areas of predominant arable or intensively managed grazing, there is little or no economic justification for retaining hedges) | |
| hekkefugl | breeding bird (The individuals in a bird population that are involved in reproduction during a particular period in a given place) | |
| hekkeområde | nesting area (A place where birds gather to lay eggs) | |
| hekking | nesting (The building of nests for egg laying and rearing of offspring) | |
| helse | health (A state of dynamic equilibrium between an organism and its environment in which all functions of mind and body are normal) | |
| helsearbeider | health care profession | |
| helsefare | health hazard | |
| helsefarlig stoff | hazardous substance (Any material that poses a threat to human health and/or the environment. Typical hazardous substances are toxic, corrosive, ignitable, explosive, or chemically reactive) | |
| helseforskrift | health regulation (A body of rules or orders prescribed by government or management to promote or protect the soundness of human bodies and minds in the workplace, at home or in the general environment) | |
| helseinstitusjon | health facility (A facility or location where medical, dental, surgical, or nursing attention or treatment is provided to humans or animals) | |
| helselovgivning | health legislation (Laws, ordinances, or codes prescribing sanitary, clean air, etc., standards and regulations, designed to promote and preserve the health of the community and working conditions of businesses) |
