Meaning of "quaquaversal" in English

The term "quaquaversal" describes a geological feature or phenomenon where layers or strata dip away from a central point in all directions. Imagine the ripples caused when you drop a pebble into a pond; similarly, quaquaversal formations expand outward in a circular pattern. This idea is often applied in descriptions of mountain structures or seismic formations where all slopes descend away from a central peak or point. The term originates from the Latin words "quaqua" (wherever) and "versus" (turned).
