Answer:

Elbow Lake

Step-by-step explanation:

An oxbow lake is a stagnant lake that forms along a winding river due to soil erosion resulting in an abandoned stream, cut off from the river. An oxbow lake begins as meander or a curve in a river after some time, the curve becomes larger as a result of erosion and hydraulic action.
