The geographical glossary contains terms from the world of geography, like e.g. astronomy, soil science, geology, carthography, climatology, agriculture, animal geography, vegetation geography, geomorphology, glaciology and hydrology. At present, the database contains terms in five languages: German, English, Norwegian, Dutch and French. French has just been added, as a consequence there are only a few terms available yet. The part of the glossary which deals with names of species, contains Latin as an additional language.
There are ongoing added new terms to the glossary. At the moment, the glossary contains 6189 terms..
Have you noticed any mistakes?
Would you like to add terms to the glossary?
Would you like to add terms in another language to the glossary?
Do you have ideas how to improve these pages?
I am looking forward to your e-mail
