overlying

基本解釋

Salt has lower density than the surrounding rock, so it tends to flow upwards, pushing up the overlying layers of rock to form a dome.
鹽的密度低于周圍的巖石，所以會向上抬升，使覆蓋其上的巖層形成穹頂狀。
Our hypothesis is that about 1 or 2 percent of the population fails to develop a normal thickness of bone overlying the superior canal.
我們的假設(shè)是大概1%~2%的人頭部無法形成覆蓋上半規(guī)管的正常厚度骨頭。
This leads to a honeycomb of cavities that eventually collapse due to the weight of the overlying rock layers, leaving the irregular mounds standing.
這一現(xiàn)象會導(dǎo)致地下形成蜂窩狀的洞穴系統(tǒng)，并最終由于上覆巖層的重力而崩塌，留下一些不規(guī)則的巖石群。

Were we to grasp those overlying trend lines, both private companies and the regulators themselves could begin to do some very useful planning.

The oil trajectory that actually occurs will depend critically both on the short-term evolution of the Loop Current, which feeds into the Gulf Stream, and on the state of the overlying atmosphere.
