is there any lake found near the meanders of the river? obtain information about this
Answers
Explanation:
The meander becomes an oxbow lake along the side of the river. Oxbow lakes usually form in flat, low-lying plains close to where the river empties into another body of water. On these plains, rivers often have wide meanders.
Hope this answer will helpful to you,
Thank you.
*Oxbow lakes are created when growing meanders intersect each other and cut off a meander loop ,leaving it without an active cutting stream. This is usually linked to flooding where the river will tend to the path of least resistance. The oxbow collect more and more deposited sediment each season of flooding until it becomes independent from the river.The largest oxbow lakes will be in areas with wider flood plains where the rivers have more room to meander. Over a period of time, these oxbow lakes tends to dry out or feel in with sediments.*
