superposed
Placed one above
Superposed means placed or laid on top of something else.
In geology, superposed drainage occurs when a river system established on one surface cuts down into underlying rock of different structure.
In physics, superposed waves or states occupy the same position simultaneously: The quantum particle exists in superposed states until measured.
The word is technical and relatively rare outside specialized contexts.
