Arches
An arch is a structure that spans an opening and supports the weight above it. Arches have been used in architecture for thousands of years and can be found in many historical buildings and structures around the world.
Types of Arches
There are several different types of arches, including:
- Round arch: This is a typical semicircular arch.
- Pointed arch: This arch has a pointed or Gothic shape.
- Elliptical arch: This arch has an elliptical shape and is often used in more decorative architecture.
- Horseshoe arch: This type of arch has a rounded, horseshoe-like shape and is commonly found in Moorish architecture.
How Arches Work
Arches work by transferring the weight above them outward to the supports on either side of the opening. This creates a stable structure that can bear a significant amount of weight.
Study Guide
Here are some key points to remember about arches:
- What is an arch?
- What are the different types of arches?
- How do arches work?
- Where can arches be found in architecture?
Remember to study the different types of arches and their unique characteristics. Also, understand the basic principles of how arches distribute weight and provide structural support.

LIFE SCIENCE
From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes
Create representations to explain the unique and diverse life cycles of organisms other than humans (e.g., flowering plants, frogs, butterflies), including commonalities such as birth, growth, reproduction, and death.
Unity and Diversity
Construct an argument from evidence to explain the likelihood of an organism’s ability to survive when compared to the resources in a certain habitat (e.g., freshwater organisms survive well, less well, or not at all in saltwater; desert organisms survive well, less well, or not at all in woodlands).
Create models that illustrate how organisms and their habitats make up a system in which the parts depend on each other.
