thermocline

IPA: /ˈθɜːrməˌklaɪn/

KK: /ˈθɜrməˌklaɪn/

noun

Definition: A layer in a body of water that separates warmer water on top from colder water below, where the temperature changes quickly as you go deeper.

Example: The fish prefer to stay in the thermocline where the temperature is just right for them.

thermoduric

IPA: //ˌθɜːrməˈdjʊrɪk//

KK: /ˌθɜrməˈdʊrɪk/

adjective

Definition: Able to live or remain active at high temperatures, particularly during processes like pasteurization.

Example: Some bacteria are thermoduric, meaning they can survive the heat during pasteurization.

thermodynamic

IPA: /ˌθɜːrməʊdaɪˈnæmɪk/

KK: /ˌθɜrməʊdaɪˈnæmɪk/

adjective

Definition: Relating to the branch of physics that deals with heat and temperature and their relation to energy and work.

Example: The thermodynamic properties of the gas were analyzed in the experiment.

thermodynamical

IPA: /ˌθɜːrmoʊdaɪˈnæmɪkəl/

KK: /θɜrmoʊdaɪˈnæmɪkəl/

adjective

Definition: Relating to the branch of physics that deals with heat and temperature and their relation to energy and work.

Example: The thermodynamical principles explain how energy is transferred in different systems.

thermodynamics

IPA: /ˌθɜːrmoʊdaɪˈnæmɪks/

KK: /ˌθɜrmoʊdaɪˈnæmɪks/

noun

Definition: The branch of physics that studies how heat and energy interact and change forms.

thermogenesis

IPA: /θɜːrˈmoʊdʒənɪsɪs/

KK: /θɜrˈmoʊdʒənɪsɪs/

noun

Definition: The process of producing heat in the body, often through metabolic activities.

Example: During cold weather, the body increases thermogenesis to maintain its temperature.

thermogenic

IPA: /θɜːrˈmoʊdʒənɪk/

KK: /θɜrˈmoʊdʒɛnɪk/

adjective

Definition: Relating to the process of producing heat in the body or in a substance.

Example: Certain foods have thermogenic properties that can help boost metabolism.

thermogram

IPA: /ˈθɜːrməˌɡræm/

KK: /ˈθɜrməˌɡræm/

noun

Definition: A type of record that shows temperature changes, created by a device called a thermograph.
