Using the following description, draw the feature
that is being explained.

• The river is meandering across the valley,
• (b) the river is eroding laterally (from side to
  side),
• (c) the river erodes the outside of the bends and
  deposits on the inside so its course is
  changing,
• (d) this erosion narrows the neck of the meander
• (e) often during a flood the river will cut
  through the neck,
• (f) the river continues in the new bed and the
  meander is abandoned,
• (g) new deposition seals off the ends and the
  cut-off becomes an ox-bow lake.
