A dome is a generally spherical, ovoid, or hemispherical shape, found in nature and also used in architecture. The basic characteristic is a three-dimensionally curved exterior, which may have a hollow interior.
Examples of domes include various covered sports stadiums, the rotunda of the US Capitol building, St. Peter's Basilica, and the geodesic dome at Epcot Center in Orlando, Florida. Natural domes are created underground by the dissolving of salt and other compounds, and in rock formations such as Half Dome in Yosemite National Forest.
