Question

question 5 of 20 : select the best answer for the question. 5. examine the u - shaped body of water in the image. whats this body of water called? a. a meander b. an oxbow lake c. a delta d. a kettle lake

Explanation:

• A meander is a curve in a river, not a U - shaped body of water isolated from the river.
• An oxbow lake is formed when a river meander is cut off, creating a U - shaped body of water that is separate from the main river channel, which matches the description.
• A delta is a landform at the mouth of a river where it deposits sediment, not a U - shaped body of water.
• A kettle lake is formed by glacial activity, typically a depression left by a melting ice block, not related to river meanders.

Answer:

B. An oxbow lake
