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.
