The geological and [[Petroleum reservoir fluid properties|reservoir properties]] of sedimentary rocks depend upon an interplay of [[tectonics]], [[Sea level cycle phase|sea level]], [[Depocenter#Siliciclastic vs. carbonate supply|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 [[Predicting reservoir system quality and performance|reservoir evaluation]].
