A young river is characterized by oxbows true or false?

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.
