Today we will be telling you how Ox Bow Lakes form. It all starts when a meander continues to erode and on the outer area and deposit sediments and pther parts of its’ load in the inner areas. This process continues and continues and the more and more is deposited as more and more is eroded. Eventually a new straight, dominant line is formed that the rivers chooses to travel through for efficiency. This leaves the past meander not being used by the water and the river’s load being deposited infront of it until it is it’s own independent lake that looks like a horse shoe, it is called an Ox Bow Lake.

In this answer we will be discussing how Oxbow lakes are formed.
An oxbow lake is a horseshoe-shaped lake.
It used to be a meander but the hydraulic Action,abrasion and attrition caused it to erode on the outside banks,it continued to do this for a long time.
The river bends become narrower and eventually breaks through the bends taking the more dominant route.the load from the river deposits its load and the old path dried up.

When meanders curve, they erode the bank. When the bank erodes dramatically over time, the meander gets cut off. Very little water goes into the horse shoe shaped meander and the current is very slow. The stream decides to take the straighter path then.

In this answer we will be discussing the formation of oxbow lakes, when a meander forms, the process of erosion and deposition continue until the meander joins itself. The water is strongest along the straight current. What was once a meander gets detached from the straight current and is now an oxbow lake

When meanders curve, they erode the bank. When the bank erodes dramatically over time, the meander gets cut off. Very little water goes into the horse shoe shaped meander and the current is very slow. The stream decides to take the dominant path then. When the river is in the old stage, it gets tired and drops of its load in front of the horse-shoe shaped meander cutting it off from the river. This creates a Ox-Bow Lake.

In this answer we will be discussing how a ox bow lake is formed in the old stage of a river. A meander is formed when erosion happens on the outer bank and cause the meander to bend to a certain point where it cuts its self of and forms and ox bow lake that looks like a horse shoe

In this answer we will be discussing how the ox bow lake are formed.Firstly the Ox bow starts as a meander,the gaps a wide at first but later it starts to narrow because of erosion(hydraulic action and abrasion etc).The river gets so narrow that it cuts off and the water goes to the easiest path.

In this answer I will be telling you how an oxbrow lake is formed. An oxbrow lake is found in the old stage of a river. When a meander is formed, erosions hits the outer bank and deposition hits the inner side of the bank, due to this the rivers bend go into each other and the river decides to go through the straight path
