Is a young river is characterized by oxbows?
No. Older rivers which meander and create oxbows are the norm. Young rivers tend to flow in straighter lines.
A young river is characterized by oxbows true or false?
False. Oxbow lakes are formed when a meander in an older river is cut off, creating a U-shaped body of water. Young rivers typically do not have oxbow lakes as they are still actively eroding their channels and shaping their course.

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 can you tell the difference between young and old river?
If the river is young it is steep in places and doesn't meander (curve). A mature river isn't so steep and it is starting to form meanders; but be careful because old rivers are completely flat and do have meanders.
What medium creates oxbows?
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.
