Relief, rivers, and the city of Anver:
Belgium is a country with a plain coastal relief, similar to Netherlands relief, streaked by deltas, rivers and canals. The largest part of the seaside is marked by a giant belt sand dune. The main river, Meuse, is connected with the other rivers through canals, most of them navigable for small ships. The city port Anvers, has conferred a strong commercial character, because most of the commercial traffic of the country passes through here. At the same time this city is known because of the diamond processing.
