Nearly all places in the LMC where ring nebulae or shell structures in the neutral or ionized interstellar medium are observed, an OB association and/or WR-stars can be located (Braunsfurth, Feitzinger, 1983). Several mechanisms have been propsoed to generate shell or bubble structures: stellar winds, supernovae explosions, evolving HII regions, sequential starformation, collapsing hydrogen clouds interacting with stellar winds and radiation pressure. Ordered motions resulting in a shell or bubble structure are the result of almost any point like energy injection into the interstellar medium. Therefore all the mechanisms result in similar morphological structures, thus similar shapes can have heterogeneous origins.
