| Terms for subject Environment (5171 entries) |
| temperet skogområde | temperate woodland (Forest dominated by broad-leaved hardwoods, which occurs over large tracts in the mid-latitudes of Europe, N. America, and eastern Asia, but which is restricted in the southern hemisphere to Chilean Patagonia) | |
| tensid | surface active compound (Any soluble substance composed of two or more unlike atoms held together by chemical bonds that reduces interfacial tension between liquids or a liquid and a solid, often used as detergents, wetting agents and emulsifiers) | |
| tensid | surface-active agent (A substance that, when used in small quantities, modifies the surface properties of liquids or solids. A surface-active agent reduces surface tension in a fluid or the interfacial tension between two immiscible fluids, such as oil and water. Surfactants are particularly useful in accomplishing the wetting or penetration of solids by aqueous liquids and serve in the manner of detergent, emulsifying, or dispersing agents. They are more effective than soap in certain situations and are used by conservators for such purposes as cleaning, wetting, and dispersing) | |
| terapi | therapy (The treatment of physical, mental or social disorders or disease) | |
| teratogen | teratogenic substance (Substances capable of causing abnormal development of the embryo and congenital malformations) | |
| teratogen | teratogen (Substances causing formation of a congenital anomaly or monstrosity in the embryo) | |
| teratogenese | teratogenesis (The process whereby abnormalities of the offspring are generated, usually as the result of damage to the embryonal structure during the first trimester of pregnancy, producing deformity of the fetus) | |
| teratogenitet | teratogenicity (The ability or tendency to produce anomalies of formation) | |
| teratogenitetsprøving | teratogenesis screening | |
| termalvann | thermal water (Water, generally of a spring or geyser, whose temperature is appreciably above the local mean annual air temperature) | |
| terminologi | terminology (The body of specialized words relating to a particular subject) | |
| termisk behandling | thermal treatment (1. Heating and cooling a metal or alloy to obtain desired properties or conditions. 2. Treatment of hazardous waste in a device which uses elevated temperatures as the primary means to change the chemical, physical, or biological character or composition of the hazardous waste. Examples of thermal treatment processes are incineration, molten salt, pyrolysis, calcination, wet air oxidation, and microwave discharge) | |
| termisk forurensning | thermal pollution (The excessive raising or lowering of water temperature above or below normal seasonal ranges in streams, lakes, or estuaries or oceans as the result of discharge of hot or cold effluents into such water) | |
| termisk utstyr | thermal equipment (Equipment related to the production of heat) | |
| termitt | termite (A soft-bodied insect of the order Isoptera; individuals feed on cellulose and live in colonies with a caste system comprising three types of functional individuals: sterile workers and soldiers, and the reproductives. Also known as white ant) | |
| termodynamikk | thermodynamics (The branch of physics which seeks to derive, from a few basic postulates, relationships between properties of matter, especially those connected with temperature, and a description of the conversion of energy from one form to another) | |
| terrasseformet landskap | terraced landscape (Landscape resulting from the method of cultivating land by cutting terraces or benches into slopes to create areas of flat land. The practice is common in mountainous areas where land is scarce and rainfall uncertain) | |
| terrassehage | terraced garden (No definition needed) | |
| terrengkjøretøy | all-terrain vehicle (A land carriage so constructed that it can be used on any kind of road or rough terrain and can be operated for many purposes, such as carrying goods, transporting the injured, conveying passengers, etc.) | |
| terrestrisk biologisk ressurs | terrestrial biological resource (Any source of supply derived from plants, animals or other wildlife inhabiting land or ground, which may be used by humans for food, clothes and other necessities) |
