Note: I'm sorry that that wasn't a good answer. Please hold on while I contact an expert.

Weegy: An oxbow lake is a U-shaped body of water formed when a wide meander from the mainstem of a river is cut off to create a lake. This landform is called an oxbow lake for the distinctive curved shape that results from this process. [ In Australia, an oxbow lake is called a billabong. By itself, the word oxbow can also mean a U-shaped bend in a river or stream, whether or not it is cut off from the mainstream. ]

User: compare the rate of water flow on the inside of a meander curve with that on the outside of the curve?
