Editing Geography of Liberia (section)

==Physical geography==
Liberia extends from between 4.21°N and 8.34°N to 7.27°W and 11.31°W. It is roughly rectangular measuring about {{convert|510|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} in length from northwest to southeast, with a width of about {{convert|275|km|mi|0|abbr=on}}. The coastline is about {{convert|680|km|mi|0|abbr=on}}, including river mouths and inlets up to one kilometre wide.<ref name=Hughes>{{cite book|author=Hughes, R.H. |title=A Directory of African Wetlands|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=VLjafeXa3gMC&pg=PA385 |year=1992 |publisher=IUCN |isbn=978-2-88032-949-5 |pages=385–386}}</ref>

Drainage of the whole country is direct to the sea, with a series of short rivers flowing directly into the sea. These are, from west to east, the [[Mano River]] on the border with Sierra Leone, the [[Mafa River]], the [[Lofa River]], the [[Saint Paul River]], the [[Mesurado River]], the [[Farmington River]], the [[Saint John River (Liberia)|Saint John River]], the [[Timbo River (Liberia)|Timbo River]], the [[Cestos River]], the [[Sehnkwehn River]], the [[Sinoe River]], the [[Dugbe River]], the [[Dubo River]], the [[Grand Cess River]] and the [[Cavalla River]] on the border with Ivory Coast.<ref name=Atlas/>

In the west, the coast is low and sandy, but in the central and eastern parts of the country it is sandy and rocky and of moderate relief, frequently broken by the mouths of the rivers. The coastal plain varies in width, being narrow between [[Monrovia]] and [[Buchanan, Liberia|Buchanan]], but being much wider in the west and in the Cestos Valley in the centre, narrowing again in the eastern end of the country.<ref name=Atlas/>

Further inland the land rises, sometimes with [[escarpment]]s, to a plateau some {{convert|300|to|400|m|ft|-2|abbr=on}} above sea level. This is divided by the river valleys and there are hilly ridges between some of the river valleys. The land rises further in the north and northwest of the country, with mountains that exceed {{convert|1000|m|ft|-2|abbr=on}} in several places, the highest point in the country being in the [[Wologizi Range]] at {{convert|1440|m|ft|0|abbr=on}}.<ref name=Hughes/>
