  4. oxbow lakes
Explanation

Headward erosion happens when a river erodes backwards toward its source. This can break through to another river.

When one river cuts into another, it “captures” the other river’s water. The stronger river steals the weaker river’s flow.

River capture changes drainage patterns significantly.
