Where can meanders be found?
Meanders, or curved loops in a river, can be found in various river systems around the world. They are commonly seen in larger rivers with gentle slopes, such as the Mississippi River in the United States or the Amazon River in South America. Meanders form as the river erodes the outer bank and deposits sediment on the inner bank, causing the river channel to shift and create a looping pattern.

What kind of river flows downstream and creates sweeping bends?
A meandering river flows downstream and creates sweeping bends, known as meanders. These bends form due to the erosion of the riverbank on the outer curve and deposition of sediment on the inner curve, resulting in a sinuous path. Meandering rivers often occur in flat or gently sloping landscapes, where the water's velocity is relatively low. This dynamic process shapes the river's course over time, creating a distinctive and winding appearance.

Loop like curve in a river or stream?
A curve in a mature or old age river is called a meander and forms when the slightest curve forms and starts to grow larger. This is because on the inside of a curve water moves slower and deposits sediment, and on the outside the exact opposite happpens when faster moving water pounds against the curve making it bigger. In an old age stream when the meanders get big enough the section of river that's curved can actually be cut-off during a flood because water always wants to take the quicker path. The lake that forms when this happens is called and ox-bow lake. It is called this beacue the ox-bow was put on oxen and used to plow fields around the time this kind of lake was named and they had simmilar shapes.
How a meander and a oxbow lake alike?
Both meanders and oxbow lakes are features formed by the erosion and deposition processes of rivers. A meander is a winding curve or bend in a river, created as water flows more swiftly on the outside of the curve, eroding the bank, while depositing sediment on the inside. An oxbow lake is formed when a meander gets cut off from the main river channel, creating a crescent-shaped lake. Thus, both are interconnected aspects of a river's evolution and landscape alteration.
