Question

oxbow lakes are usually formed
​

Answer 1

$\huge\sf{\underline{\underline{\pink{Answer:-}}}}$

An oxbow lake starts out as a curve, or meander, in a river. A lake forms as the river finds a different, shorter, course. 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.

Answer 2

Answer:

Due to erosion and deposition , the ends of meander loops come closer and closer . After sometime the meander loop cuts off from the river , forming a cut - off lake . As it is in shape of ox - bow , it is also known as ox - bow lake.
