cascaded
Fell in stages
Cascaded is the past tense of cascade, meaning to fall or flow in stages like a waterfall.
Water cascades over rocks; information cascades through a network; errors cascade through a system when one failure triggers others.
The word often describes things that happen in sequence, each stage triggering the next: Her hair cascaded down her shoulders.
The changes cascaded through the organization.
