Why have meanders been cut off?
Naturally rivers erode & deposit silt & debris over time, millions of years, and this erosion will, by force of gravity, alter the course of the river. Where there is a large meander, a huge bend in the river course, erosion may be so dramatic that the meander will be cut & this will form a lake in the old river course. This type of semi cirular lake is called an Oxbow lake. It is a cut off meander.
