What is an abandoned cutoff meander loop? It is An Oxbow lake.
How does meander neck cutoff form an oxbow lake?
At times, particularly during floods, a river may form a meander cutoff, a new, shorter channel across the narrow neck od a meander. The old meander may be abandoned as sediment separates out from the new, shorter channel. The cutoff meander becomes a cresent-shaped ox-bow lake. With time, an ox-bow lake may be filled with sediment and vegitation.
A curve or loop in a river?
the answer is meander
With the absence of a cutoff how does a river meander loop behave over time?
A meandering river loop will continue to widen and migrate laterally over time without a cutoff. Erosion will occur on the outer bank, causing the loop to grow larger, while deposition will occur on the inner bank, creating point bars. This will result in a gradual shift of the river's path within the loop.

Where does erosion take place in a meander loop?
Erosion typically occurs on the outer bank of a meander loop due to increased flow velocity and shear stress along the bend. As the water flows along the outer bank, it exerts erosional forces, causing the bank to erode and the meander loop to migrate downstream over time.
