The North Sea Basin is enclosed on its western and eastern sides by two axes of elevation, viz. the Pennines (a5 of Text-fig. 7) and the axis of Erkelenz (a3). The fault-zone of the Limburg coal district broadens towards the north-west into the graben of the central Netherlands. In the opposite direction it is connected with the Rhine-graben. The southern border of the North Sea Basin is formed by the Brabant Massif. It dates from at least pre-Carboniferous times, but its influence as a geanticlinal ridge of elevation was manifest in many Mesozoic and Cenozoic epochs. In a voluminous memoir Stevens (6) pointed out that the present morphology of Belgium—e.g. the pattern of the rivers—still reveals the influence of this important element.
