The Meander comes after the River Source
After the meander, a river often continues its course with a series of bends and curves, eventually leading to features like oxbow lakes or floodplains. As erosion and sediment deposition occur over time, the meanders may become more pronounced or even cut off, forming new pathways. Ultimately, the river may approach its mouth, where it flows into a larger body of water, such as an ocean or lake.
When theres a meander or it comes to the mouth also when it comes to a waterfall
When the neck gets smaller of ther meander an ox-bow lake appears as when a storm comes ther is enough sediment dropped to close of the river to the meander bend leaving an ox-bow to dry up into a scar.

The three ages of rivers are youthful, mature, and old age. In the youthful stage, rivers are fast-flowing and erode the landscape, forming V-shaped valleys. In the mature stage, rivers meander and deposit sediment, creating floodplains. In old age, rivers widen and meander extensively, eventually forming oxbow lakes.

The word meander (from the Greek Maiandros) is the name of a river that was famous in antiquity for winding. Hence the word means "to behave like the Meander" that is to wind and turn like a river on a flat alluvial plain. Said loosely of any irregular itinerary.
As a river deposits sediment on the inside of a meander and erodes the outside of the meander, the meander migrates toward the outside edge
A meander in general is a bend in a sinuous watercourse
