a vault of even curvature on a circular base which can be segmental, semicircular, pointed, or bulbous
Series of very flat snow summits across the Antarctic High plateau. They've been named more or less according to their altitude while being discovered: Dome A (4200m), Ridge B (3800m), Dome C (3260m), Dome F (3600m), but also Sipple Dome, Talos Dome, Law Dome... They are usually very interesting places for glaciology, atmospheric science, and if high enough also astronomy...
A generally hemispherical roof or vault; An arch rotated 360 degrees on its vertical axis.
In astronomy, the building that houses a telescope. The roof of a telescope dome has a dome shape, and there is a shutter that opens and closes, allowing the telescope to view the sky.
an uplift or anticlinal structure, circular or elliptical in outline, in which the rocks dip away in all directions.
A large hemispherical roof or ceiling.
An uplift that is round or elliptical in map view with beds dipping away in all directions from a central point.
A round protrusion atop the boiler of a steam locomotive; it houses the steam controls or sand.
round shaped vault. It may be laid over a tambour, wells or sprandels.
Often a hemispherical covering rising from a roof; may be surmounted by a cupola and may be raised over a circular or polygonal drum. This drum is frequently pierced by openings or windows.
A geologic structure resembling an inverted bowl. A short anticline plunging on all sides. See salt dome.
A large hemispherical cupola, or a roof that is actually rounded or many sided.
vault of even curvature erected on a circular base. The section can be segmental, semicircular, pointed, or bulbous. See also Byzantine Church - illustrated with examples from Greece
A vaulted roof having a circular, polygonal, or elliptical base and a generally hemispherical or semispherical shape.
An uplifted area of sedimentary rocks with a downward dip in all directions; often caused by molten rock material pushing upward from below. The sediments have often eroded away, exposing the rocks that resulted when the molten material cooled.
a stadium that has a roof
a circular roof that is situated over a square or circular area
a curved roof which encloses a circular space
a hemi-spherical vault resting on a circular base wall
a "roof" and so is Turkish DAM
(Cupola). Curved or spherical vault (may also be semi-circular with an oval section) mainly found in religious buildings. The cupola rests on a 'drum' with a polygonal or cylindrical external structure and is crowned by a lantern through which light is admitted to the interior.
Like most observatories, South Pole has a dome. However this is an dome in which people meet, eat and send emails. The dome also houses the communications centre, the doctor and other infrastructure. The telescopes, by the way, are a kilometre away in the "Dark Sector".
a roof shaped like an upside-down bowl
A curved roof enclosing a circular space; a three-dimensional arch.
A large rounded roof or ceiling on a circular or many sided base. Domes are often decorated with stained or painted glass adding light, color and drama to a room or foyer. The dome ceiling of the library is one of the most beautiful on Parliament Hill.
a roof that is shaped like a half-circle, or a variation of one.
arched roof or ceiling of a uniform curvature erected on a circular or square base. Domes can be segmented, semicircular, pointed, or bulbous. Often decorated with stained or painted glass. Adds light, color, and drama to a room or foyer.
A curved vault springing from a circular base, in section semi-circular (forming a hemisphere), segmental etc.
A roof with a partial-spherical shape.
A circular or elliptical uplift, typically volcanic in origin.
The shelter housing a telescope. The dome roof has a motorized slit that opens and can rotate 360 degrees to expose any portion of the sky. We use Ash Domes for our large telescopes, and a specially constructed dome of our own design for the robotic telescope.
a type of geological structure where a rock layer has pushed up intothe rock layer above in a typically spherical shape.
roof formed by a series of rounded arches or vaults on a round or many-sided base
a structure or formation in which the beds dip away approximately equally from a central point; any structure or formation resembling the dome of a building. [AHDOS
Hemispherical shaped roof or building (ribbed dome cupola).
A convex vaulted curvature often spherical in shape usually built atop of a building. They can be constructed of any material including masonry, wood, glass or steel and can be decorative or functional in nature.
A round or elliptical anticlinal upwarp of strata in which strata dip away in all directions from the high point. (See also Volcanic dome.)
The circular fixture on the top of a tank cat that contains valves and relief devices.
A roof formed by a series of arches, roughly forming a semicircle.
In geology, a dome is a deformational feature consisting of symmetrically-dipping anticlines; their general outline on a geologic map is circular or oval.(Monroe and Wicander, 230) The strata in a dome are upwarped; if the top of a dome is eroded off, the result will be a series of concentric strata that grow progressively older from the outside-in, with the oldest rocks exposed at the center.(Monroe and Wicander, 231) Many geologic domes are too large to be appreciated from the surface, and are readily apparent only in maps; well-known domes include the Llano Uplift and the Ozark Dome.(Monroe and Wicander, 230)
