How are Oxbow Lakes formed?

How are Oxbow Lakes formed?. Stage 1 : A Meander In the lower course of a river the meander bends become even larger and the river meanders more vigorously. (The fastest flow is still on the outside of the bend and slowest flow on the inside.). Stage 2 : The Neck Narrows
