No. Older rivers which meander and create oxbows are the norm. Young rivers tend to flow in straighter lines.
No.
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.
Oxbows are formed when a section of a river is cut off and left separate by itself. They form in a u-shape.

The Danube river has a few meanders and oxbows and it a Delta which leads the Danube into The Black Sea.
the 4 stages of river deposition are: 1. levees and meander 2. deltas 3.floodplain 4.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.
a young river A+
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.
