Depositional environment is part of earth surface that has certain chemical, biology, and physics characteristics where sediments are laid on. There are 3 kinds of depositional environments, they are continental, marginal marine, and marine environments.<ref name=Bggs>Boggs, S., Jr,. 2009, Principles of Sedimentology and Stratigraphy Fourth Edition.

And different depositional environment, will have different structure and texture of sediments.
