Question

what is ox-bow lake or horse shoe lake ? Draw to show how it is formed.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

An oxbow lake is a lake that forms when a meander in a river is cut off from the rest of the river. A river meanders because of obstacles and patterns of erosion and deposition of sediments. When a meander, or loop, gets large enough, it pinches off from the river to form an oxbow lake.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

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.
