What is an isolated water body made from a cut-off old meander called?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Oxbow lake

Direct answer: B, an oxbow lake. A meander is a bend in a river. Erosion works on the outside bank, while deposition builds the inside bank, so the bend becomes more curved and its neck becomes narrow. During a flood or strong flow, the river may cut through this narrow neck and take a shorter, straighter course. The abandoned loop remains separated from the main channel and often has a horseshoe shape; it is called an oxbow lake. A lagoon is a coastal water body, C is a glacial lake formed in a hollow left by melting ice, and D is an underground cavity in rock. Memory cue: a cut-off river bend looks like an oxbow, so it becomes an oxbow lake.
