What may form an oxbow river alongside a river?

An oxbow river forms when a meandering river cuts off a loop or bend, creating a new, straighter channel. This typically occurs during periods of flooding or high flow, where erosion on the outer bank of a bend and sediment deposition on the inner bank lead to the river channel shifting. Over time, the abandoned bend becomes isolated, forming an oxbow lake, which can eventually silt up and become a wetland or dry land.

Is an oxbow lake created by erosion or deposition?

An oxbow lake forms when the neck of a river bend erodes enough to meet. This will realign the river, which then flows on a new straighter course. The now isolated previous loop in the river remains as the oxbow (shaped) lake.

What is the term for a stagnant lake that forms along a winding river due to soil erosion resulting in an abandoned stream cut off from the river 278 points?

The term for a stagnant lake that forms along a winding river due to soil erosion, resulting in an abandoned stream cut off from the river, is called an "oxbow lake." These lakes are created when a meandering river erodes the land and eventually alters its course, leaving behind a crescent-shaped body of water. Over time, oxbow lakes can become stagnant and may support unique ecosystems.
