Loop like curve in a river or stream?
A curve in a mature or old age river is called a meander and forms when the slightest curve forms and starts to grow larger. This is because on the inside of a curve water moves slower and deposits sediment, and on the outside the exact opposite happpens when faster moving water pounds against the curve making it bigger. In an old age stream when the meanders get big enough the section of river that's curved can actually be cut-off during a flood because water always wants to take the quicker path. The lake that forms when this happens is called and ox-bow lake. It is called this beacue the ox-bow was put on oxen and used to plow fields around the time this kind of lake was named and they had simmilar shapes.
