Question

OX-bow lake is erosional or depositional

Answer 1

Answer:

An oxbow lake is a lake that forms when a meander in a river is cut off from the rest of the river. It is shaped like a crescent, or the bow of an oxen yoke. A river meanders because of obstacles and patterns of erosion and deposition of sediments.

Answer 2

Answer:

Is oxbow lake erosion or deposition?

The water flows fastest around the outside of the bend, and slower on the inside. The speed of the flow cuts away the outside bank of a loop in a process called erosion. At the same time, it drops sediment, which contains particles of rock and sand, on the inner bank in a process called deposition.
