The geological and reservoir properties of sedimentary rocks depend upon an interplay of tectonics, [[Sea level cycle phase|sea level]], [[Carbonate vs. siliciclastic deposition|sediment supply]], physical and biological processes of sediment transport and deposition, and [[Sea level cycles and climate|climate]]. At the basin scale, these processes interact to produce the geometric arrangement of different depositional environments or [[Definitions of depositional system elements#Systems tracts|systems tracts]] through time, known as the stratigraphic architecture of the basin.<ref name=pt06r88>Miall, A. D., 1984, Principles of Sedimentary Basin Analysis: New York, Springer-Verlag, 490 p.</ref> At smaller scales, these processes control the external geometry and internal “anatomy” of clastic sediment bodies (see [[Geological heterogeneities]]). It is at this smaller scale that lithofacies analysis and interpretation of depositional environments become important for reservoir evaluation.
