This diverts the water current around the debris ___ the side of the river. This process continues on the outside of the bend, and on the inside of the bend, where the water travels slower and the river is ___, deposition occurs. If the neck of the river is eroded to such an extent as it breaks through to the otherside of the bend, water will be diverted and flow along this straight section. During times of ___ deposition will occur and the __-___ ___ will be cut off, eventually drying up due to a lack of water supply.

A. A riffle will form in the main channel of a river (or stream.) This diverts the water current around the debris to the side of the river. This process continues on the outside of the bend, and on the inside of the bend, where the water travels slower and the river is convex, deposition occurs. If the neck of the river is eroded to such an extent as it breaks through to the otherside of the bend, water will be diverted and flow along this straight section. During times of flooding, deposition will occur and the cut-off meander (or slip-off slope) will be cut off, eventually drying up due to a lack of water supply.

how is an oxbow lake formed?
Q.
Asked by LFC! - Wed May 28 05:13:22 2008 - Geography - 3 Answers - Comments
A. An ox-bow lake is a horseshoe-shaped or crescent-shaped lake that is created when a meander becomes so pronounced that it is cut off from the main river. In the lower course of the river, the gradient is relatively flat, the volume of the river is low and the velocity of the river is also low. This causes the river vally to be very wide and flat. The river then has room to meander. Beacause the valley in the lower course tends to be wider and flater than in the upper course, the meanders are more pronounced. At the concave bank, the stream flows the fastest. Lateral erosion and underdcutting is dominant. At the convex bank, the water is very shallow and slack. The river has low energy at this part of the river and thus deposition is… [cont.]

Is this right??? Formation of an oxbow lake?
Q. The formation of an oxbow lake is due to both deposition and erosion. Due to these two processes the river changes. As the water reaches the bend erosion takes place on the outside of the meander, where the river is fastest. On the other hand deposition occurs on the inside of the meander, this is where the river is slower. As the deposition and Erosion continues the outer banks continue to get closer together. As they join together a kind of loop is formed, the river flows straight ahead where the main energy is, in the middle. Deposition blocks off the meander and the loop is cut off from the main channel. The yet to form ox bow river becomes sluggish. Because of the new oxbow lake, the water in the river continues to flow straight ahead. [cont.]

A. I just had this in college a few semesters ago... Oxbow lakes are formed when meandering streams/rivers are cut off to create a lake. It is a U shaped lake because the river once curved there, but eventually cut off at that location. Textbook description: In the vicinity of a river bend, deposition occurs on the convex bank (the bank with the smaller radius). In contrast, both lateral erosion and undercutting occur on the cut bank or concave bank (the bank with the greater radius.) Continuous deposition on the convex bank and erosion of the concave bank of a meandering river cause the formation of a very pronounced meander with two concave banks getting closer. The narrow neck of land between the two neighbouring concave banks is finally… [cont.]

A. They are formed when the old river channel is bypassed by a new one and the old one becomes landlocked from the river itself. The lake is often still fed by the river when the water rises enough to get over the land barrier.

An ox bow lake is formed from a meander of a river that was cut off during a flood. Due to erosion, the meander edges of a river can approach quite closely.

This extra force can cause the water to take a shortcut over the land between the close points of the meander.

A. With due respect to my colleagues.. This question is mixing apples and oranges. Lakes do not naturally form in arid regions associated with canyons so on that basis, oxbow lakes proper don't form. An oxbow lake is a colloquial name for abandoned/cutoff meander. Most of the time, the course of a canyon is thought to be fixed once the stage of entrenched meanders is entered. Migration(meandering) still occurs even if highly channalized. It creeps along even on a geological time scale. Eventually an entrenched meander can migrate horizontally far enough and create a cut off.

An oxbow lake is a U-shaped body of water formed when a wide meander from the main stem of a river is cut off to create a lake. This landform is called an oxbow lake for the distinctive curved shape, named after part of a yoke for oxen. In Australia, an oxbow lake is called a billabong, derived from an indigenous language.
