Ox Bow Lakes are Found in ______.

Answer: River valleys

Explanation

• In river valleys, oxbow lakes can be found
• When the river gets to the plains, it looks like it has waves because it goes in and out of big bends
• Over time, the meandering loops cut the river off and make lakes that aren’t connected to the river
• These lakes are called ox-bow lakes
• When a river winds around in a floodplain, it creates oxbow lakes, which are later cut off
• The Indo-Gangetic plains in northern Bihar are mostly made up of it
• This lake was the first wetland in Bihar to be added to the Ramsar site
• It was named a Ramsar site in the year 2020
