English term

to be responsible for

Non-PRO English to German Tech/Engineering Mining & Minerals / Gems
The La Paciencia property is underlain by the same geology as the Pueblo Viejo gold deposit and its topographic expression is a large hill, the same as Pueblo Viejo. It is speculated that a higher silicic content in the local rocks is responsible for both hills.

Vielen Dank!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Heiko Franz Mar 2, 2011:
@alle silicic content kann doch sowohl Kieselsäuregehalt, als auch Siliziumdioxidgehalt sein, oder? Bin kein Chemiker, aber das erste ist wohl nur in gelöster und das andere in fester Form vorhanden? Lässt sich daraus ableiten, was von beiden gemeint ist?

Es wird angenommen, dass diese Bergformation auf den hohen Kieselanteil im Felsgestein zurückgehen.

I might be a bit off with regard to silicic as that's not my speciality, but I'm sure I got the target expression right.

Bei beiden Hügel wird ein lokal erhöhter Siliziumgehalt als Ursache vermutet.
