A
geodesic dome
is a spherical or partial-sphericalshell structurebased on a network of great circles(geodesics ) lying on the surface of asphere. The geodesics intersect toformtriangularelements that have local triangular rigidityand also distribute thestressacross the entire structure.When completed to form a full sphere, it is known as a
geodesic sphere
.

Basically, Geodesic domes are produced by subdividing thefaces of a regular polyhedron that fits onto a sphere.Geodesic spheres and domes are then categorized accordingto the base polyhedron, the number of subdivisions and thetype of subdivisions
.
Base polyhedron
 There are several regular polyhedrons that can be used as abasis for subdividing into geodesic spheres but 3 are morecommon.
 The most common one is the icosahedrons, the second oneis the octahedron and then the less commonly used is thetetrahedron
