spiral.noun-and.adjective
A circling around a point or centre in curves
that constantly increase in size; coiled or coiling in one plane,
or constantly changing planes as the thread of a screw.
The Archimedes spiral named after he
who first described it, is a spiral where each successive whorl
is increased by-an amount-the
same width as the one before; like a spider's web.
The equiangular spiral-(all
lines drawn from the center of the spiral intersect with outer walls at
identical angles) is the only mathematical curve that retains the same
shape while growing only at one end. These type of spirals occur
in animals
and plants which grow having each identically shaped segment of proportionately
(percentage) increasing size. An equiangular spiral forms when a
growing structure is built of
components
identical in shape, which increase in size by equal steps, a most orderly
way to arrange these components making a whole.
Spirals are different from
helixes.
