| Terms for subject Environment (5171 entries) |
| hårdhetsgrad av vann | water hardness (The amount of calcium and magnesium salts dissolved in water) | |
| harpiks | resin (Any of a class of solid or semisolid organic products of natural or synthetic origin with no definite melting point, generally of high molecular weight; most resins are polymers) | |
| harpiksplante | resinous plant (Plants yielding or producing resin) | |
| hastighet | rate (The amount of change in some quantity during a time interval divided by the length of the time interval) | |
| hastighet | speed (A scalar measure of the rate of movement of a body expressed either as the distance travelled divided by the time taken (average speed) or the rate of change of position with respect to time at a particular point (instantaneous speed). It is measured in metres per second, miles per hour, etc.) | |
| hattsopp | mushroom (A family of Basidiomycetes that are characterized by the production of spores on gills) | |
| hav | ocean (The mass of water occupying all of the Earth's surface not occupied by land, but excluding all lakes and inland seas) | |
| havbølge | sea wave (A moving ridge or swell of water occurring close to the surface of the sea, characterized by oscillating and rising and falling movements, often as a result of the frictional drag of the wind) | |
| havbruk | mariculture (Cultivation of marine organisms in their natural habitats, usually for commercial purposes) | |
| havfiske | open sea fishing (Fishing in the deepest parts of the sea) | |
| havforurensning | marine pollution (Any detrimental alteration of the marine environment caused by the intentional or accidental release of dangerous or toxic substances, such as industrial, commercial and urban waste water) | |
| 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)) |
