Meanders and Ox Bow Lakes - diagram and explanation

Detailed explanation of how meanders and Ox bow lakes are formed. I explain each stage from how the thalweg causes differential erosion in the inner and outer bend of the river to how the neck of the meander can be cut to form the ox bow lake. Because of the use of hand drawn diagrams this makes it ideal for students revising or preparing for their examinations or homework as they can replicate the explanation with ease.
