Hi you? Please tell me about "Interval Tree"?

Well I've been looking at this, and by simply looking online I can't seem to grasp what an interval tree is, I can't seem to find any good tutorials. What I have been able to gather is that an interval tree is an extended type of Binary tree, Which IS easy to explain. A binary tree stores data in a manner in which is much easier to access. You create a Tree of nodes, where each node stores data about itself, and data about the nodes to the left and right of it. |dw:1337197352616:dw| Using these nodes decreases the time it takes to retrieve data, because each time you arrive at a node you can determine if you should go left or right to find the data you're looking for. (Not entirely sure if the above explanation was very clear, I'm not a teacher) So, Judging by what I saw, Interval tree's build off binary trees, and are a bit more complicated. If you want to learn how to implement interval tree's learn binary trees first.
