On-bow lakes are found in ___________.
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C River valleys
An oxbow lake starts out as a curve, or meander,
in a river. A lake forms as the river
finds a different, shorter, course. The meander becomes an oxbow lake along the
side of the river.
Oxbow lakes usually form in flat, low-lying plain
close to where the river empties into another body of water. On these plains,
rivers often have wide meanders
