1 Insertion â when a base is added to the sequence. 2  Deletion â when a base is deleted from the sequence.  Copy number variation (CNV) is a type of mutation where large chunks of DNA are inserted, repeated or lost. These regions of DNA can be between 10,000 and 5,000,000 bases long.
Wind deposition can result in dunes and loess deposits.
Dunes develop in a different way to other depositional features because they are the result of the interaction between marine processes and the atmosphere. In brief, dunes begin to form beyond the strandline of the beach where dry sediment is transported by wind through saltation and suspension.oasts of erosion form as a result of high energy waves, large fetch, high exposure and limited deposition. They are also associated with drift alligned coasts that are influenced by longshore drift.
