What is difference between 3-layer architecture and MVC architecture?

In 3-layer architecture

• 3-layer architecture separates the application into 3 components which consists of Presentation Layer Business Layer and Data Access Layer.
  
  
• In 3-layer architecture, user interacts with the Presentation layer. 
  
  
• 3-layer is a linear architecture.

In MVC

• MVC architecture separates the application into three components which consists of Model, View and Controller.
  
  
• In MVC architecture, user interacts with the controller with the help of view. MVC is a triangle architecture.
  
  
• MVC does not replace 3-layer architecture. Typically 3-layer and MVC are used together and MVC acts as the Presentation layer.
