Arc :: Arc (n.) A curvature in the shape of a circular arc or an arch; as, the colored arc (the rainbow); the arc of Hadley's quadrant..

Lordosis :: Lordosis (n.) Any abnormal curvature of the bones.

Crook :: Crook (v. i.) To bend; to curve; to wind; to have a curvature.

Umbilicus :: Umbilicus (n.) A point of a surface at which the curvatures of the normal sections are all equal to each other. A sphere may be osculatory to the surface in every direction at an umbilicus. Called also umbilic.

Recurvation :: Recurvation (n.) The act of recurving, or the state of being recurved; a bending or flexure backward..

Geodesy :: Geodesy (n.) That branch of applied mathematics which determines, by means of observations and measurements, the figures and areas of large portions of the earth's surface, or the general figure and dimenshions of the earth; or that branch of surveying in which the curvature of the earth is taken into account, as in the surveys of States, or of long lines of coast..

Plane :: Plane (a.) A surface, real or imaginary, in which, if any two points are taken, the straight line which joins them lies wholly in that surface; or a surface, any section of which by a like surface is a straight line; a surface without curvature..

Incurvation :: Incurvation (n.) The state of being bent or curved; curvature.

Anticlastic :: Anticlastic (a.) Having to opposite curvatures, that is, curved longitudinally in one direction and transversely in the opposite direction, as the surface of a saddle..

Level :: Level (a.) Even; flat; having no part higher than another; having, or conforming to, the curvature which belongs to the undisturbed liquid parts of the earth's surface; as, a level field; level ground; the level surface of a pond or lake..

Tricurvate :: Tricurvate (a.) Curved in three directions; as, a tricurvate spicule (see Illust. of Spicule)..
