Does the River Tees have an Oxbow lake?
No it does not. It is fairly flat through its length without the meanders which lead to ox-bow lakes.
Is a oxbow created by erosion or deposition?
An oxbow is primarily created by erosion, specifically lateral erosion by a river. As a river meanders and flows, it erodes the outer banks of a bend, causing the bend to become more pronounced over time. Eventually, the erosion causes the bend to loop back on itself, forming an oxbow lake.
