Definition EN: (a) component along a line of latitude, towards east or west, of an atmospheric circulation. (b) Atmospheric circulation along, or approximately along, parallels of longitude.

Definition EN: circulation index relating to the west-east component of the atmospheric circulation, often considered between about 35 degrees and 65 degrees latitude.

Definition EN: a soil having well developed characteristics reflecting the full influence of the prevailing climate,fauna and flora,and therefore characteristic of that climatic zone

Definition ES: suelo cuyo perfil acusa un efecto dominante del clima y la vegetación sobre su evolución

Definition EN: a layer of soil approximately parallel to the land surface and differing from adjacent genetically related layers in physical,chemical,and biological properties or characteristics such as colour,structure,texture,consistency,kinds and numbers of organisms present,degree of acidity or alkalinity

Definition ES: diferenciación de capas horizontales de distinta composición, originadas por la acción de los factores de formación del suelo

Definition EN: zone of audibility of intense sounds...at a great distance from the source of the sound...with the refraction, and a change of direction towards the Earth, of the sound waves in the high layers of t he atmosphere.

Definition EN: that part of the lithosphere in which all rocks are under stresses exceeding their elastic limits.In it the rocks undergo permanent deformation and are said to flow,hence in this zone interstices are absent or insignificant

Definition ES: zona de la litosfera donde las rocas están sometidas a tensiones superiores a sus límites elásticos. La roca sufre una deformación permanente y se dice que fluye; en consecuencia en esta zona no hay intersticios o si los hay son insignificantes.

Definition EN: that part of the lithosphere in which the functional interstices of permeable rock or earth are completely filled with water under positive hydrostatic pressure,that is,pressure in excess of atmospheric pressure.It is the portion of the lithosphere that supplies water to springs and wells and which contains the ground water.Strictly speaking,part of the capillary zone is also saturated

Definition ES: parte de la litosfera donde los intersticios efectivos de la roca o de la tierra permeable están completamente llenos de agua bajo presión hidrostática positiva, es decir bajo una presión superior a la atmosférica. Es la parte de la litosfera que alimenta de agua las fuentes y los pozos y que contiene la capa freática. Estrictamente hablando, parte de la zona capilar es también saturada

Definition EN: an area in a watercourse where sediment settles out

Definition EN: the local mean time of a reference or zone meridian whose time is kept throughout a designated zone
