At times, particularly during floods, a river may form a meander cutoff, a new, shorter channel across the narrow neck od a meander. The old meander may be abandoned as sediment separates out from the new, shorter channel. The cutoff meander becomes a cresent-shaped ox-bow lake. With time, an ox-bow lake may be filled with sediment and vegitation.
