Meanders are bends in a river. The main current swings from side to side which causes the bank to eroide. Where the other side of the river flows slower, all the sand and grit is deposited on the other side of the river, forming a bank or a 'beach'. As time goes on the meanders will form closer together and the two bank cut off the extra rest of the river forming an Oxbow Lake.
