A lake formed when a meandering river is cut off from the mainstream is known as a meander cut off.
These cut offs are like shortcut across a meander loop which shortens or straightens the main course of the stream.
This process is helped by the tendency of meander trains, or sequences, the stacking or compressing of meanders that accompanies slope reduction.
