Question

how are ox-bow lakes formed?​

Answer 1

When deposition finally seals off the cut-off from the river channel, an oxbow lake is formed. The oxbow lake usually is a U-shaped body of water that forms when a wide meander from the main stem of a river is cut off, creating a free-standing body of water.
