Which of these lake types is formed by a meandering river?

• Oxbow:To form an oxbow lake, a river first needs to form a curve, or meander. As the river finds a shorter, different course, an oxbow lake forms along the side of the meandering river. This type of lake usually forms in flat, low-lying plains near the point where the river empties into a larger body of water. The curve in the river where the oxbow lake forms will be one of two types: a curve turning away from the river's straight path or a turn curving back. The corners on the curves closest together are termed concave banks and are prone to erode over time. The banks on the opposite side from the concave banks are called convex banks. Here, silt and sediment build up instead of eroding away. Source: NationalGeographic.com
