An oxbow lake starts out as a “meander” in a river (like an S-shaped curve). It’s usually on a flat plain. A lake forms when the river finds a shorter, straighter route, leaving water behind in the S-curve.

Explanation:

when a meander becomes very pronounced,the outside bend or concave bend is so rapidly eroded that the river cuts through the narrow neck of the loop, forming an ox-bow lake or 'mortlake' (meaning dead lake). the river then flows straight. the ox-bow lake will later degenerate into a swamp through subsequent floods that may silt up the lake. it becomes marshy and eventually dries up.
