This {{Elemental Power|s}} SubTrope is about characters with power over '''[[color:#662211:earth]]'''. Despite being the least used of the classical elemental powers in protagonists ("earth" powers usually manifest as the more nurturing and proactive GreenThumb) there are many things one can do with Earth. Earth users may be able to cause earthquakes, rockslides or split the earth itself and crush their opponent between two slabs of crust or drop their opponent into a fissure; use sand, rock, or mud as an extension of their body to create tentacles or other objects, encase themselves in a rock shield to avoid attack and many other possibilities. A common variant of it is controlling sand and dust, i.e ground-up rock and soil.
