An Oxbow lake is a feature that can be found in the old stage of a river where the gradient isn’t steep. It begins with a meander, a meander is formed because of erosion. Examples of erosion are hydraulic action, abrasion and attrition that break away the banks of the river. Over time the river bends and the force of the water push the others sides which causes numerous meanders. Eventually, the meanders come together to form a loop where the river still flows around. The current of the water selects the straighter path and becomes dominant. The water cuts off the loop and creates its own course, the old path of the river drys out. Then an abandoned oxbow lake is left which is in the shape of a horse shoe.

An ox bow lake is formed on the old stage of a river and its caused when a meander rivers curves collide caused by erosion and after a few years it drifts away from the river and ends up in a horse-shoe shaped river

An oxbow lake is formed in the old stage and it is shaped like a horse shoe. It can take millions of years to form . It happens in a rivers meander( the rivers bends ) it erodes due to hydraulic action and abrasion to the point where it touches the other point of the river . The deposition covers the curve in the river and because of this the meander is abandoned, because of this it forces the river to loose its curve forcing it to move a little bit straighter again
This forms an ox bow lake

It’s found in the old stage of a river where the gradient is very gentle and the rivers current is soft

In this answer we will be descussing how an oxbow lake is formed.
An oxbow lake is one of the features of the old stage of a river. It occurs because of the rivers load eroding the river into meanders (curves in the river) to the point where they curve into a loop. Then eventually the curves grow very close to each other until the river decides to take the straighter path and cut off the loop into an oxbow lake. Over time the river deposits its load bit by bit to fill the gap between the river and the oxbow lake until it looks like this:

Oxbow lakes are formed when meanders hit eachother and when the river deposits it’s load at the border of the lake

An Ox Bow Lake is formed in the old stage of a river.
It is formed when the meander neck becomes smaller and smaller until the the river joins together. The river chooses the straighter path and deposits it’s load disconnecting the meander from the river creating and Ox Bow Lake.

In this answer I will be discussing how an ox bow lake is formed. It is formed in the old stage of a river where the gradient is very gentle and the river is slow, because of this the valleys are very soft. An ox bow lake is formed when a river erodes into a meander and keeps curving until it touches itself. When it erodes so much that it touches itself thanks to hydraulic action, the river chooses the straighter path. The force behind the water going through the curve becomes weaker. The river deposits some of its load blocking the curve and cutting it off from the river. An ox bow lake is shaped like a horse shoe

This is a horse shoe shaped lake . It was once part of a river meanders but it was cut off because currents are the strongest on the outside off the lake and the gabs between rivers narrow by erosion the river still flows around the meander then it gets abandoned and now the old part of the river is now dry and then it forms an oxbow lake

An oxbow lake forms when a river creates a meander, due to the river's eroding the bank. After a long period of time, the meander becomes very curved, and eventually the neck of the meander becomes narrower and the river cuts through the neck during a flood, cutting off the meander and forming an oxbow lake.

A curved lake formed from a horseshoe bend in a river where the main stream has cut across the narrow end and no longer flows around the loop of the bend.

Oxbow lakes are formed when a river has a meander which erodes because of abrasion and hydraulic action to the point where it touches the other point of the river. Deposition covers the curve and and the meander is abandoned and the river is now straight. The abandoned meander becomes an oxbow lake.

A feature found at the old stage of a river is a ox bow lake
It is formed when a meander curves so much it bumps into eachother  the the water shifts and takes the more straighter path due to erosion and all the deposition it blocks off the remains of the meander

an ox bow lake is formed when a rivers bank gets eroded. This happens because the load of the river hits off the bank eroding it. This causes the two banks of the river to meet each other. Later on the load of the river deposits some of its load, separating the river from the lake.  This is how an ox bow lake is formed

In this answer we will be discussing how an ox bow lake is formed. An oxbow lake is a horse shoe shaped lake. It is formed in the old stage. The river is flowing and and it starts to form a meander. The gap between the 2 arms of the river are narrowed by erosion the river breaks through a narrow gap when in flood and the river still flows around the meander currents along the straighter paths become dominant and this forms an ox bow lake😃
