water ripples
Pond's gentle waves
Water ripples are the small waves that spread outward in concentric circles when the surface of still water is disturbed—by a thrown pebble, a raindrop, or a fish rising.
The pattern serves as a common metaphor for how effects spread from a single cause: Her decision sent ripples through the entire organization.
