Answer:
An oxbow is a crescent-shaped lake lying alongside a winding river. The oxbow lake is created over time as erosion and deposits of soil change the river's course.
An oxbow lake is formed when a river creates a meander, due to the river's eroding the bank through hydraulic action, abrasion and corrosion. After a long period of time, the meander becomes very curved, and eventually the neck of the meander will become narrower and the river will cut through the neck at a time of flood, cutting off the meander and forming an oxbow lake.
