Explanation:

• When meanders get cut off, they form ox - bow lakes which are freshwater lakes.
• Melting ice from glaciers can create depressions that fill with freshwater to form lakes.
• When landslides block rivers, the water backs up behind the blockage to form a freshwater lake (a natural dam - created lake).
• When seawater flows inland, it forms salt - water or brackish - water bodies (like lagoons in some cases), not freshwater lakes.

Answer:

When meanders get cut off, from melting ice from glaciers, when landslides block rivers.
