Definition
A repetitive sequence of rock layers or sediments that formed in response to periodic environmental changes, often seen in coal-bearing strata from ancient seas and swamps.
Etymology
From Greek 'kyklos' (circle, repetition) + '-them' (a geological suffix meaning layers/strata), describing rocks that show cyclical patterns of deposition.
Kelly Says
Cyclothems proved that Earth's climate has naturally cycled for millions of years—geologists reading layered rocks can see evidence of ancient sea-level changes repeating over and over like nature's own rhythm.
