Question:

How can Oxbow lakes form?

Author: eric_galvao



Answer:

-So since the Erosion of the Outer bend, and the Deposition on the Inside, the Meander shape will change over some Time -Erosion will narrow the 'Neck' of the Land within the Meanders, and as time keeps ticking, the Meanders will be Closer Together -When Huge Discharge has Happened [Flood] the River can simply Cut through the Neck -This results in 2 things: -The River now takes on a Straight and Shorter Route -Deposition occurs, that Cuts of the Meander, which then has a Horse show Shaped Oxbow lake, that is not connected to the River
