Crossword Puzzle Infos
U-shaped river bends, also known as oxbows, are curves in a river that form a U-shape. These bends occur when the river erodes the land on the outside of the bend, creating a meander. Over time, the meander can become so large that the river cuts off the bend, forming an oxbow lake. Oxbows are common features of rivers in floodplains and are important habitats for wildlife.
