Terms for subject Environment (5949 entries)
kapitalaren gaineko zerga tax on capital (A government imposed levy on the wealth or assets gained by an individual, firm, or corporation for the purpose of raising revenue to pay for services or improvements for the general public benefit)
kapitalen joan-etorri aske free movement of capital (The unrestrained flow of cash, funds, and other means of wealth between countries with different currencies)
kapsularatze encapsulation (The enclosure of any polluting product with a material that prevents its release in the environment)
karbohidrato carbohydrate (Any of the group of organic compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, including sugars, starches and celluloses)
karbonato carbonate (A salt or ester of carbonic acid)
karbono carbon (A nonmetallic element existing in the three crystalline forms: graphite, diamond and buckminsterfullerene: occurring in carbon dioxide, coal, oil and all organic compounds)
karbono dioxidoaren gaineko zerga carbon dioxide tax (Compulsory charges levied on fuels to reduce the output of carbon dioxide (CO2), which is a colourless and odourless gas substance that is incombustible)
karbono organiko organic carbon (Carbon which comes from an animal or plant)
karbono organiko disolbatu dissolved organic carbon (The fraction of total organic carbon (all carbon atoms covalently bonded in organic molecules) in water that passes through a 0.45 micron pore-diameter filter)
karbono organikoaren guztizko total organic carbon (The amount of carbon covalently bound in organic compounds in a water sample)
karbonoIV oxido carbon dioxide (A colourless gas with a faint tingling smell and taste. Atmospheric carbon dioxide is the source of carbon for plants. As carbon dioxide is heavier than air and does not support combustion, it is used in fire extinguishers. It is a normal constituent of the atmosphere, relatively innocuous in itself but playing an important role in the greenhouse effect. It is produced during the combustion of fossil fuels when the carbon content of the fuels reacts with the oxygen during combustion. It is also produced when living organisms respire. It is essential for plant nutrition and in the ocean phytoplankton is capable of absorbing and releasing large quantities of the gas, CO2)
karbonoII oxido carbon monoxide (Colorless, odourless, tasteless, non-corrosive, highly poisonous gas of about the same density as that of air. Very flammable, burning in air with bright blue flame. Although each molecule of CO has one carbon atom and one oxygen atom, it has a shape similar to that of an oxygen molecule (two atoms of oxygen), which is important with regard to it's lethality, CO)
karbonoaren ziklo carbon cycle (The cycle of carbon in the biosphere, in which plants convert carbon dioxide to organic compounds that are consumed by plants and animals, and the carbon is returned to the biosphere in inorganic form by processes of respiration and decay)
karburol gasohol (A mixture of 80% or 90% petrol with 20% or 10% ethyl alcohol, for use as a fuel in internal combustion engines)
kardiologia cardiology (The study of the heart)
kare lime (Any of various mineral and industrial forms of calcium oxide differing chiefly in water content and percentage of constituent such as silica, alumina and iron)
kareharri limestone (A sedimentary rock consisting chiefly of calcium carbonate, primarily in the form of the mineral calcite and with or without magnesium carbonate. Limestones are formed by either organic or inorganic processes, and may be detrital, chemical, oolitic, earthy, crystalline, or recrystallized; many are highly fossiliferous and clearly represent ancient shell banks or coral reefs)
karga iraunkor continuous load (The amount or quantity of polluting material found in a transporting agent that flows at a steady rate, in contrast to a sudden or dramatic influx)
karga kritiko critical load (The maximum load that a given system can tolerate before failing)
karga negoziagarri negotiable charge
