An oxbow lake is the result of which process?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Cut-off of a meander neck
The correct answer is D. In a strongly curved meander, erosion on the outer banks and deposition on the inner banks can narrow the meander neck. During a flood, the river may cut through this narrow neck and adopt a straighter channel. Deposition then seals the abandoned ends, leaving the former bend as a detached, curved oxbow lake. The other choices describe unrelated agents.
