'Meanders' Geography Worksheet Page 2

2. Formation of an oxbow lake

Flow

1) Look carefully at the photo above. Draw arrows to label the following:

meander neck

inside bend of a meander

outside bend of a meander

site where erosion might be occurring

site where deposition might be occurring.

2) Look at the diagrams and the writing on the next page. They explain

how an oxbow lake is formed, but they are mixed up.

Decide which piece of writing goes with which diagram. Cut out the

diagrams and the writing. Paste them in the correct order so each

diagram has its matching caption. Use a clean page of printer paper.

Include a heading. Please clean up your mess.
