According to the U.S. Geological Survey, rain is slightly acidic because it reacts with carbon dioxide in the air, which forms carbonic acid. This light acid breaks down layers of rock over time, which contain salts. Though some ocean creatures eat these salts and minerals, they also leave some behind, which build up over time. Salts also come from hydrothermal vents at the bottom of the ocean.The reason the water tastes salty is that the two most abundant ions are usually chloride and sodium, which are also the two ions that make up table salt.

Oxbow lakes form when a river has two curves, one bending away from the straight course and another bending back. The banks of the curves closest to one another - the concave banks - are prone to erosion from the force of water flowing against them. Over time, this erosion causes the curves to pinch together. The river now flows along a shorter, straighter course and an oxbow lake sits beside the river. Oxbow lakes form most often near the river's confluence with a larger body of water and on low-lying plains.\nOxbows are stillwater lakes, meaning there is no inflow or outflow of water. S..
