Answer:

here you go

Step-by-step explanation:

when you get a meander the lake slowly erodes from the inside, because water will always want to take the faster route( which would be straight ) the lake will slowly cute off the meander while dumping the rivers load forming an oxbow lake

Answer:

It starts with a bend in a river then the river erodes the bend until it goes through the bend and the old bend keeps its water and becomes a lake
