- These lunar constructs resemble small cinder cones and volcanic domes on the Earth. However, such cones and domes may form differently on the Earth and Moon. ... Similarly, lava domes on Earth form from very thick, pasty lavas. ... On the Moon, most of the domes and cones appear to be made of basalts. Thus, they can not have formed like Earth domes from thick, non-basaltic lavas. Instead, the lunar domes/cones may mark places where the erupted basalts were just barely molten. ...

- Rib Domes.
- Star Ribbed Domes.
- Domes have been used to cover structures since ancient times. Arab and Muslim builders adopted the use of domes from previous traditions in their buildings, and introduced several innovations of their own. ... It is the construction of Star Ribbed Domes, where a pair of parallel arches is rotated to intersect and produce a star pattern.
- Ribbed domes seem to have developed in Spain and Persia around the same time. ...
- The earliest extant star ribbed domes are those at the Great Mosque of Cordoba.
- The number of rotations increased over time and produced domes with twenty four, thirty two, forty eight, and sixty four rotations, a practice especially popular in North Africa. Variations on these domes can be obtained by removing sections of the ribs in the center or the periphery of the dome, by using half a dome in Mihrab and portal niches, or by using one quarter of a dome in the corners of square rooms Sakkal .
- Ribbed domes influenced the medieval builders of Romanesque and Gothic architecture in Spain as in Burgos Cathedral, and in the rest of Europe as in Prague Cathedral, and continued to be an inspiration for western architects such as Leonardo de Vinci and Guarino Guarini. This fascination with ribbed domes is evident in our own time in projects such as Lindsfarne Chapel in Colorado and Bahai House of Worship in New Delhi. ... Magnificent ribbed domes are designed and built by Moroccans for both religious and secular buildings Paccard, Castera .
- Another novel variation on star ribbed domes where a change in block size creates a new geometry.

- Dressed in suit and tie, Bucky attracted a following of hippy youth, science fanatics, math geniuses, and political planners with the promise of his GEODESIC DOMES. ...
- Having less surface area means that spheres -- or parts of spheres, domes -- require fewer building materials and that they are less likely to be damaged by high winds, rain, or sand storms. Less surface area also means that there is less wall space through which heat can escape, so domes tend to stay warmer and waste less energy than rectangular buildings. ...
- And, unlike conventional buildings that grow shakier as they grow taller, domes get stronger and more stable as they get bigger!.

- Lunar domes, from the morphologic point of view, are low subcircolar reliefs of convex shape, with gentle slopes, such to give shadows of curvilinear contour. ... Many domes are not isolated but are found in groups near the impact basins margins.
- Westfall in his article "A generic classification of lunar domes", (J. ...
- Under high illumination, domes are indistinguishable from their surroundings. Domes may exhibit secondary features, such as pits,clefts, ridges, and hills, as long as any single such feature does not occupy more than a quarter of the area of the dome. ...
- Lunar domes are generally similar to Earth shield volcanoes especially when on the top of the dome a circular craterlet is present, maybe the effusive mouth of the volcano. In some cases domes can be explained as localized swellings of the lunar crust, caused by the intrusion to low depth of magma. It must be noted that the above definition of lunar domes is a morphological one and not geological. Different origins for lunar domes exist so not all the domes are volcanic features.
- The observation of lunar domes remains one of the fields where it is still possible to give a useful contribution to the study of our natural satellite. In fact the high resolution images taken with lunar probes do not always show this type of morphology clearly, lunar domes have such a low relief that they can be revealed only when in proximity of the terminator. ...

- World's Largest Storage Domes.
- Geodesic Domes for Large Capacity Storage.
- Due to increasing environmental concerns, many organizations desiring covered storage have looked for and found a cost effective way to solve their problem: Geometrica’s geodesic domes.
- Geometrica’s geodesic domes easily adapt to each of these types of piles and cover even the largest ones.
- Geometrica's geodesic domes are made with its efficient structural system of strong and corrosion resistant galvanized steel or aluminium. The light, prefabricated domes are containerized and shipped from our plant to anywhere in the world. Construction may proceed before, during or after material handling equipment is installed, and, frequently, the domes are built over existing live material stockpiles with minimal or no downtime.

- 16), San Francisco, New York City and Seoul - where two domes are under construction at once. ... The cable domes rising above a 13,000-seat gymnastics arena and a 7,000-seat fencing stadium are part of an Olympic Park that also includes a velodrome, arenas for weight-lifting and swimming events and the Olympic and press villages. ...
- The prime mover behind the domes in Korea was Kim Swoo-Guen of Seoul-based architect The Space Group of Korea (SGK). ...
- "Geiger and I modeled the domes on the computer and thrashed the hell out of the designs," says Geiger associate Andrew R. ...
- Another advantage is that although Fuller's tensegrity domes had high-profile curves, the cable dome is suited to low-profile designs. Geiger's experience showed that low-rise domes have less uplift from wind and produce less drifting of snow and therefore lower snow loads. Geiger wanted lo keep the surface area of the domes to a minimum to reduce fabric costs, and he specified an off-the-shelf, seven-wire prestressing strand to reduce cable costs. ...
- " The engineers were also looking for reusability - making the casting design adaptable to smaller and larger domes, he says. ...
