hey friend your answer is here

An oxbow lake is a special kind of lake that only forms next to meandering rivers. It is shaped like a crescent or a horseshoe and presents a unique ecosystem separate from the river.

What Is an Oxbow?

An oxbow is a part of the yoke for a team of oxen that is shaped like a crescent or the letter U. This piece of the yoke is called a bow. The reference may be a little dated, and most of us have never seen a team of oxen in real life, but in geography, the name sticks. An oxbow lake is a crescent-shaped lake (yes, it looks like the bow of an oxen yoke) that forms to the side of a meandering river.....,.

WHEN THE MAIN STREAM OF RIVER FLOWS TO THE OCEAN WATER BODIES, THEY MAKE A PATH TO THE OCEAN, THEY ARE MIXING, BUT SOMETIMES, THE A SMALL WATER AREA REMAINS SEPRATED FROM THE MAIN STREAM DUE TO DEPOSITION OF SAND AND SILT BETWEEN THE MAIN STEAM.

AND, THE PART WHICH IS SEPRATED IS KNOWN AS OX-BOW LAKE.
