In warm climates, siliciclastic input is greatest under highly seasonal rainfall. Nonseasonal conditions favor formation of "end member" chemical rocks; perennially wet climates are conducive to coal formation, whereas dry climates produce carbonates and/or evaporites. Stratigraphic repetition of siliciclastic and chemical rocks therefore appears to be related to paleoclimate cycles as well as to transgressive-regressive events and tectonics.
