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.

The theory of isostasy is a theory that suggest that the layers of Earth are arranged in accordance to their density. It is a theory that usually refers to the mantle and crust. The mantle (astenosphere) is denser than the crust (lithosphere), so the crust floats on top of it, depending on its density, with he continental crust being higher, while the oceanic crust being lower. The two forces that are responsible for this are the gravity and buoyancy.
