Describe how an ox-bow lake is formed.
Answer:
-An ox-bow lake forms when a river starts to meander on a flood plain.
-Lateral erosion dominates on the outer side of the bend while deposition takes place
on the inner bank.
-Lateral erosion result in the reduction of the neck of the
land between adjacent bends.
-Deposition on the meander side, especially during floods blocks off the river.
-The river abandons the meander and follows the newly formed short cut that
was the neck of land.
-The abandoned meander with its water forms an ox-bow lake
