Surfacings are materials applied to create or finish a surface, especially road coverings like asphalt or gravel: The contractor recommended several surfacings for the parking lot.
The word also refers to instances of coming to the surface or becoming visible: repeated surfacings of the whale, the surfacings of old rumors.
