Question 5

How are Meanders and Oxbow lakes

related?

Meanders and oxbow lakes

are both types of rivers.

When the materials from a meander is deposited onto the

banks, it slowly starts to get more

round until the loop that was once part

of the meander gets cut off.

Over time, what used to be an
