This phenomenon is known as overlap or interposition. When an object in the foreground appears to block another object in the background, we assume that the blocked object is farther away. This is a monocular cue to depth perception. Convergence refers to the inward turning of the eyes when we focus on nearby objects, linear perspective refers to the way parallel lines appear to converge in the distance, and texture gradient refers to the gradual change in the size and spacing of texture elements as they recede into the distance. While these cues can also contribute to depth perception, they are not specifically related to the phenomenon described in the question.
