Can anyone enlighten me as to what would the best translation for the word buzamiento be?
context:
...con buzamientos entre 10 y 15 grados.

I would use "fluctuation" or "dipping": "...fluctuating between 10 and 15 degrees". Hope it helps!

I believe Buzamiento is a word related to geology, if it is, in this case, you can use dip of the stratum or simply dip

This is what I found
Dip of a stratum (Geol.), its greatest angle of inclination to the horizon, or that of a line perpendicular to its direction or strike...

Dip: The downward inclination of a rock stratum or vein in reference to the plane of the horizon. ...
