Each layer of Graphite is called graphine .
graphene layer slide over another graphene as they are held by a weak Vander Waal force of attraction which is very weak .
That's why graphite are soft and can be used as dry lubricant in the machines where oil can not used as lubricant .
I hope it will help you.
