dome-shaped

Curved like igloos

Dome-shaped describes something curved like a dome—rounded on top with a wider base, resembling half a sphere or the top of a building's cupola: dome-shaped hills, a dome-shaped lid.

The term applies to anything with this distinctive convex profile: The mushroom's dome-shaped cap.
