É a legenda de uma figura e não há mais contexto. Essa figura faz parte do Relatório de Qualidade do Meio Ambiente.
Hilton F Santos Oct 23, 2022:
Lara, context provided is enough (endangered species leads to environment concerns); e.g., https://www.gov.nl.ca/ffa/wildlife/endangeredspecies/
Lara Barnett Oct 23, 2022:
@ Hilton We still do not know the best answer without further context/information from the asker.
Hilton F Santos Oct 22, 2022:
Threatening plant and invertebrate’s species can be preserved in slopes, which may be embankment slopes, dam slopes, or highway-cut slopes. The encompass term for all these environment media is slope (not embankments).
Lara Barnett Oct 22, 2022:
@ Hilton Environmental issues do not necessarily exclude the use of "embankment". Why should it? Until we find out more about the context we do not know. In fact "embankment" can be used in any context, but we need more information form the asker before we really know the best term too use.
Hilton F Santos Oct 21, 2022:
It seems to be about the environment; that's why I think "embankment" is not related, sorry Nick.
Lara Barnett Oct 21, 2022:
@ Auristela Could you provide more context please, and the purpose/nature of the document ? There are various terms that are possible, and this would help us find he best one.

In simplest terms, a naturally-formed embankment is the result of water that overflows in a river, leading to a flow of sediment onto the river bank. Over time, the sediment becomes a part of the bank, and the increased material leads to a raised elevation surrounding the river.
