  "term": "Layer cake geometry",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "A simplified geological model of a reservoir where rock layers are assumed to be horizontally continuous, parallel, and uniform in thickness over large areas. This conceptual model is often used in early-stage reservoir characterization due to its simplicity. It contrasts with more complex models that account for faulting, folding, and lateral facies changes.",
