During a battle between the Elemental Alliance and the Anacondrai, the Master of Earth was manipulated by Chen to turn against his own and create a large rift in the earth that disoriented the members of the alliance.

Geokinetic Attacks - The user can attack using Earth.
Geokinetic Beam Emission - The user can fire beams of earth.
Geokinetic Breath - Earth Dragons can expel earth and likely other earth-related substances (lava, crystal, etc.) from their mouth.
Geokinetic Ball Projection - The user can generate balls of earth.
Geokinetic Pillar Projection - The user can create pillars of earth.

Geo-Telekinesis - The user can use earth to move and manipulate objects.
Geokinetic Imprisonment - The user can bind, imprison, and/or otherwise stop an object/being by surrounding them completely by using earth.
Immobilization - The users can immobilize enemies by covering them in a layer of earth, as shown when a Stone Warrior got trapped by Lloyd.
Lithokinesis - Users of this element can manipulate rocks and other minerals in many ways, like making pillars of rock erupt from the ground.
Tectokinesis - Gives the user (possibly only a very powerful one) the ability to move tectonic plates, allowing them to create fractures and chasm (as displayed by Garmadon's Mega Weapon).
Earthquake Generation - It can be used to cause earthquakes, allowing the user to create shaking tremors along surfaces (walls, ceilings, etc.) that creates dust and dust particles to reveal a hidden enemy or rupture the ground by pounding it. Lloyd used this to raise a portion of the ground in "The Day Ninjago Stood Still".
Fissure Creation - The user can create fissures to trap opponents or destabilize objects that have been implanted in the ground as seen in "Roots".
Seismogenesis - The user has the ability to create giant shockwaves.

Superhuman Durability - Some Elemental Masters of Earth are able to survive and withstand attacks better than an average person.
Touvlokinesis - The user can manipulate and generate bricks, likely to create brick pillars or to trap opponents. Cole used this in "The Greatest Fear of All" to tear off a large chunk of brick and throw it at an Anacondrai Cultist in Kryptarium Prison.
Geokinetic Infusion - The user can infuse objects (usually a weapon), beings, or powers with earthen materials, empowering and energizing them and allowing the user to manipulate their qualities and efficiency, increasing their concussive force and mass, etc. Cole was able create a fissure and shockwave from his hammer to fight off the Stone Guardians.
Geokinetic Constructs - The user can create different objects out of earth. Cole used this in "Force From the East" to create a rock for Geo to sit on and later in "Clues and Suspects" through an Elemental Earth Mech to build an Earth bridge.
Connection to the earth - The user has a special connection that allows them to read/detect the earth's feelings as Cole stated in "Land of Lost Things" that he felt the land was screaming.
Danger Sense - As seen in "Dungeon Crawl!", the user can sense danger in the earth, such as when Cole sensed the presence of an incoming Lava Monster.
Elemental shield - The user can create an Earth elemental shield.
Radiation Resistance - The user's elemental shield can resist the radiation from entering the planet's atmosphere.
Space Survivability - The user's elemental shield likely allows them to survive in the vacuum of space, as seen in "The Titanium Ninja" while the Ninja were about to enter their planet's atmosphere.

SupernaturalStrength - The user possesses incredible strength that allows them to effortlessly lift vehicles, large planes, and even boulders.
Durability Enhancement - Enhances the user's durability (possibly giving them thick skin to resist or suppress projectiles and pain), making them tougher than original super durability.

Earth Punch - The user can give their arms a magma/molten rock texture and punch through nearly anything, excluding Vengestone and corruptedIce. This ability does not have a specific meaning as True Potential does, but rather it is simply a higher level of Earth power. Cole is the first Master of Earth to have this ability and it is exclusive to the Earth element.
Levitation - Cole was accidentally able to levitate while he was trying to control his Earth Punch.
Elemental Golem - The user is able to encase themselves in stone, simulating the appearance of a large stone golem.

Wing Manifestation - Once in Dragon Form, the user gains wings on their back.
Flight - Using said wings, the user can fly.
Vengestone Immunity - In dragon form, the user's powers are unaffected by Vengestone.
Infectious crystal immunity - A user of Dragon Form is unaffected by infectious crystals.
Enhanced Elemental Powers - A user of Dragon Form has their Elemental Powers heavily enhanced.

Symbol[]

The symbol of Earth is a gorilla,[2] an animal known for its strength. It is seen on a few of Cole's gis.
Though it was through the Scythe of Quakes, Earth is the first Elemental power seen in the Franchise.
Despite the element being named as such, it has been pointed out in the show by the characters (specifically the Cook in "Enkrypted" and Jay in "The Mask of Deception") that they do not know what "Earth" is, which implies that the planet on which Ninjago takes place is not called this.
However, the word is still used to refer to the ground or land in general, such as when Vania asks "What is it like to command the very earth?" and Cole says "I'm surrounded by earth" in "Into the Dark" and when Hazza D'ur says Vengestone is being mined "from the earth" in "The Skull Sorcerer."
It was later confirmed by Tommy Andreasen that, within the world of Ninjago, "Earth" simply means dirt or soil and does not refer to the planet of Ninjago.[3]
Cole's elemental shield is made of pure black and gray energy, with no hint of the brown, green, or orange colors seen in his other elemental abilities.
It's possible that the powers of Earth and Fire could be combined to create magma.[4]
