| Terms for subject Environment (5949 entries) |
| habiagintzako eremu | nesting area (A place where birds gather to lay eggs) | |
| habitat | habitat (1. The locality in which a plant or animal naturally grows or lives. It can be either the geographical area over which it extends, or the particular station in which a specimen is found. 2. A physical portion of the environment that is inhabited by an organism or population of organisms. A habitat is characterized by a relative uniformity of the physical environment and fairly close interaction of all the biological species involved. In terms of region, a habitat may comprise a desert, a tropical forest, a prairie field, the Arctic Tundra or the Arctic Ocean) | |
| habitat-suntsidura | habitat destruction (Destruction of wildlife habitats by increasing pressure for land by fast-growing human populations, pollution and over-exploitation. Whole species or populations of plants and animals have disappeared causing a loss of genetic resource that is not only regrettable from an aesthetic or philosophical point of view but also threatens man's food supply. Habitat loss takes several forms: outright loss of areas used by wild species; degradation, for example, from vegetation removal and erosion, which deprive native species of food, shelter, and breeding areas; and fragmentation, when native species are squeezed onto small patches of undisturbed land surrounded by areas cleared for agriculture and other purposes) | |
| haize | wind (The motion of air relative to the earth's surface; usually means horizontal air motion, as distinguished from vertical motion) | |
| haize-errota | windmill (A machine for grinding or pumping driven by a set of adjustable vanes or sails that are caused to turn by the force of the wind) | |
| haize-higadura | wind erosion (The breakdown of solid rock into smaller particles and its removal by wind. It may occur on any soil whose surface is dry, unprotected by vegetation (to bind it at root level and shelter the surface) and consists of light particles. The mechanisms include straightforward picking up of dust and soil particles by the airflow and the dislodging or abrasion of surface material by the impact of particles already airborne) | |
| haize-parke | wind power station (Power station which uses wind to drive a turbine which creates electricity) | |
| haizeak zuhaitzak lurreratze | windfall (1. Falling of old trees in a forest caused by a storm or strong wind. It plays an important role in the spontaneous regeneration of forest ecosystems. 2. A plot of land covered with trees blown down by the wind) | |
| haloforme | haloform (A haloalkane, containing three halogen atoms, e.g. iodoform, CHI3; a haloform reaction is a reaction to produce haloforms from a ketone. For example, if propanone is treated with bleaching powder, the chlorinated ketone so formed reacts to form chloroform) | |
| handitze-programa | enlargement programme | |
| handizkako merkataritza | wholesale trade (The business of selling goods to retailers in larger quantities than they are sold to final consumers but in smaller quantities than they are purchased from manufacturers) | |
| HAP | polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (Hydrocarbons containing two or more closed rings of atoms) | |
| haragi | meat (The edible flesh of animals, especially that of mammals as opposed to that of fish or a nut) | |
| haragijale | carnivore (An animal that eats meat) | |
| haragitarako abelgorri | beef cattle (Cattle bred for the production of meat) | |
| harea-hobi | sand pit (A place where sand is extracted from the ground) | |
| harea-lautada | sand flat (A sandy tidal flat barren of vegetation. A tidal flat is an extensive, nearly horizontal, marshy or barren tract of land that is alternately covered and uncovered by the tide, and consisting of unconsolidated sediment (mostly mud and sand). It may form the top surface of a deltaic deposit) | |
| hareatza | sand pit (A place where sand is extracted from the ground) | |
| haritz | oak (Any tree of the genus Quercus in the order Fagales, characterized by simple, usually lobed leaves, scaly winter buds, a star-shaped pith, and its fruit, the acorn, which is a nut; the wood is tough, hard, and durable, generally having a distinct pattern) | |
| harrapaketa gehigarri | by-catch (Incidental taking of non-commercial species in drift nets, trawling operations and long line fishing; it is responsible for the death of large marine animals and one factor in the threatened extinction of some species) |
