SEQUENCES OF SEDIMENTARY ROCKS THAT ARE CHARACTERISED BY REPETITIVE PATTERNS OF DIFFERENT ROCK TYPES (STRATA) OR FACIES WITHIN THE SEQUENCE
Cyclic sedimentation; Cyclic sediment; Rhythmic sediment; Rhythmic sediments; Depositional cycle
Cyclic sediments (also called rhythmic sediments) are sequences of sedimentary rocks that are characterised by repetitive patterns of different rock types (strata) or facies within the sequence. Processes that generate sedimentary cyclicity can be either autocyclic or allocyclic, and can result in piles of sedimentary cycles hundreds or even thousands of metres thick.

(sediments)
Sediment is solid material that settles at the bottom of a liquid, especially earth and pieces of rock that have been carried along and then left somewhere by water, ice, or wind.
Many organisms that die in the sea are soon buried by sediment.

Impervious surface
Impervious surfaces are mainly artificial structures—such as pavements (roads, sidewalks, driveways and parking lots, as well as industrial areas such as airports, ports and logistics and distribution centres, all of which use considerable paved areas) that are covered by water-resistant materials such as asphalt, concrete, brick, stone—and rooftops. Soils compacted by urban development are also highly impervious.
