interlayering
Layers between layers
Interlayering is the arrangement of different materials or substances in alternating layers.
The term appears most often in geology, describing rock formations where distinct strata alternate: The cliff face showed interlayering of sandstone and shale.
It also applies in manufacturing and cooking—anywhere layers of different materials are stacked in sequence.
