Part of the harness for an oxen is a u-shaped piece of metal, which is fastened to a wooden halter, as the initial point of attachment of the loading system. This is called an oxbow.

The name is also given to the u-shaped bend in a river as it aggrades across a flattish landscape. Commonly, the oxbow is part of a complex series of them, and they are considered an attractive landscape. A set of oxbows may be called a scroll plain.

So the medium creating them is river erosion on a plainland.

What creates oxbows?

Oxbows are formed when a section of a river is cut off and left separate by itself. They form in a u-shape.


What is the medium that creates oxbows?

Oxbows are formed by the meandering of rivers. As a river flows, it erodes the outer bank of a bend and deposits sediment on the inner bank, causing the bend to become more pronounced over time. Eventually, the meander may become so pronounced that the river cuts off the bend, forming an oxbow lake.

How does a longitudinal wave move through a medium?

A longitudinal wave moves through a medium by causing particles in the medium to vibrate back and forth in the same direction as the wave's propagation. This creates areas of compression and rarefaction as the wave travels through the medium.


Sound is a disturbance that travels through a medium?

Yes, sound is a form of energy that moves in waves through a medium, such as air, water, or solids. When an object vibrates, it creates sound waves that travel through the medium and can be detected by our ears.


What are mechanical waves caused by?

Mechanical waves are caused by the vibration of particles in a medium, such as a solid, liquid, or gas. When a disturbance, such as a sound source or a force, is applied to the medium, it creates a ripple effect that travels through the medium as a wave.
