What is The ox bow lake?
an ox bow lake is a formation, not a single entertity. it occurs when a river meanders (horozontal erosion) and becomes so great that when the water seeks the fastest route- it cuts across the meander, naturally straightening the river chanel out again, and leaving a horse shoe shaped lake left on its own, which ususally matures into a lagoon or something. there is no 'the ox bow lake' there are 'ox bow lakes' doofus.
What are examples of erosion landforms?
What is arguably the best example of landform change by erosion is any landform cut in any manner by moving water. A river carves out a riverbed, and can even carve deep canyons over time. And probably the most dramatic example of a river cutting a canyon is the Grand Canyon. Nothing else on earth even comes close to it. It was cut by moving water (the Colorado River) over many millions of years.

Why have meanders been cut off?
Naturally rivers erode & deposit silt & debris over time, millions of years, and this erosion will, by force of gravity, alter the course of the river. Where there is a large meander, a huge bend in the river course, erosion may be so dramatic that the meander will be cut & this will form a lake in the old river course. This type of semi cirular lake is called an Oxbow lake. It is a cut off meander.
