Terms for subject Environment (5842 entries)
jenotiksisite genotoxicity
jeodezi geodesy (A subdivision of geophysics which includes determination of the size and shape of the earth, the earth's gravitational field, and the location of points fixed to the earth's crust in an earth-referred coordinate system)
jeofizik geophysics (The physics of the earth and its environment, that is, earth, air and space)
jeofiziksel çevre geophysical environment (The physical earth and its surroundings, consisting of the oceans and inland waters, lower and upper atmosphere, space, land masses and land forms)
jeogenetik faktör geogenic factor (Geogenic factors are those which originate in the soil, as opposed to those of anthropic origin (anthropogenic))
jeoloji geology (The study or science of the earth, its history, and its life as recorded in the rocks; includes the study of geologic features of an area, such as the geometry of rock formations, weathering and erosion, and sedimentation)
jeolojik afet geological disaster (Disasters caused by movements and deformation of the earth's crust)
jeolojik proses geological process (Dynamic actions or events that occur at the Earth's surface due to application of natural forces resulting from gravity, temperature changes, freezing and thawing, chemical reactions, seismic shaking, and the agencies of wind and moving water, ice and snow. Where and when a force exceeds the strength of the earth material, the material is changed by deformation, translocation, or chemical reactions)
jeomorfik proses geomorphic process (The physical and chemical interactions between the Earth's surface and the natural forces acting upon it to produce landforms. The processes are determined by such natural environmental variables as geology, climate, vegetation and baselevel, to say nothing of human interference. The nature of the process and the rate at which it operates will be influenced by a change in any of these variables)
jeomorfoloji geomorphology (The study of the classification, description, nature, origin, and development of present landforms and their relationships to underlying structures, and of the history of geologic changes as recorded by these surface features)
jeoteknik geotechnics (The application of scientific methods and engineering principles to civil engineering problems through acquiring, interpreting, and using knowledge of materials of the crust of the earth)
jeoteknik geotechnology (The application of scientific methods and engineering techniques to the exploitation and use of natural resources)
jeotermik enerji geothermal energy (An energy produced by tapping the earth's internal heat. At present, the only available technologies to do this are those that extract heat from hydrothermal convection systems, where water or steam transfer the heat from the deeper part of the earth to the areas where the energy can be tapped. The amount of pollutants found in geothermal vary from area to area but may contain arsenic, boron, selenium, lead, cadmium, and fluorides. They also may contain hydrogen sulphide, mercury, ammonia, radon, carbon dioxide, and methane)
kış sporları merkezi winter sports resort (Resort where sports held in the open air on snow or ice, especially skiing are practiced)
kışı geçirme overwintering (To spend winter in a particular place)
kışlama overwintering (To spend winter in a particular place)
kılavuzluk pilotage (The service provided by a pilot, one who controls the movements of a ship or aircraft by visual or electronic means)
kınkanatlı böcek beetle (Any insect of the order Coleoptera, having biting mouthparts and forewings modified to form shell-like protective elytra)
kırmızı gelgit red tide (Sea water which is covered or discoloured by the sudden growth of algal bloom or by a great increase in single-celled organisms, dinoflagellates. Red tides are often fatal to many forms of marine life and, in some cases, can result in human deaths because the dinoflagellates are eaten by clams and mussels which concentrate the paralysing toxins which they produce)
kırmızı liste red list (The series of publications produced by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN). They provide an inventory on the threat to rare plants and animal species. Information includes status, geographical distribution, population size, habitat and breeding rate. The books also contain the conservation measures, if any, that have been taken to protect the species. There are five categories of rarity status: endangered species; vulnerable organisms, which are those unlikely to adapt to major environmental effects; rare organisms, which are those at risk because there are few of them in the world, such as plants which only grow on mountain peaks or on islands; out of danger species, which were formerly in the above categories, but have had the threat removed because of conservation actions; and indeterminate species, which are the plants and animals probably at risk, although not enough is known about them to assess their status)
