southerlying
This term is primarily used in technical, geographical, or topographical contexts to describe the orientation or position of a landform relative to the south. It carries a descriptive, clinical tone and is far less common in everyday conversation than the simple adjective "southern."
While "southern" often refers to a general region or a cultural identity (e.g., southern hospitality), "southerlying" specifically emphasizes the physical act of lying or facing toward the south, often in relation to a specific point of reference like a mountain peak or a coastline.
