overlaps
Shares some territory
Overlaps describes portions that extend over and cover part of each other, like shingles on a roof or schedules that share common hours.
The noun overlap names this shared portion: There's significant overlap between the two proposals.
Things can overlap physically, temporally, or conceptually: Our interests overlap considerably.
The verb stresses the action of extending across boundaries.
