Selleaux has two main geographical regions: the coastal basin plain, and the fertile inland plain. The first consists mainly of sand dunes and clayey alluvial soils in the polders. Polders are areas of land, close to or below sea level that have been reclaimed from the sea, from which they are protected by dikes or, a little further inland, by fields that have been drained with canals. With similar soils along the lowermost basin starts the inland plain, a smooth, slowly rising fertile area irrigated by many waterways that reaches an average height of about five metres (16 feet) above sea level with wide valleys of its rivers upstream as well as the Meine region to the west along the Drambenburgian border having sandy soils at altitudes around thirty metres.
