Earth Manipulation

The immensely strong and powerful elemental power and ability to mentally control and manipulate the movement of earth-related structures, substances and materials with one’s mind. Also known as Geokinesis, Terrakinesis, Geomancy or Earthbending''. ''

Other powers and abilities such as Plant Control, Chlorokinesis, Crystal Control & Manipulation, Geo-Thermokinesis, Geothermal Manipulation, Volcanic Manipulation, Ferrokinesis, Xylgokinesis, Hyalokinesis , Flower Manipulation, or Flora Control & Manipulation may be another aspect of this ability as plants and vegetation are one of the various aspects that make up the earth.

Techniques
Some can perform:
 * "Sand Tomb": Also know as "Sand Coffin" It's the technique to bury a person/object in heaps of sand.
 * "Earth Smash": one can easily destroy rocks and boulders with punches and kicks, even if they have a very small amount of muscle mass, possibly by making the earth in the rocks weaker, although the exact nature of this technique (or if it even is a technique) is never explained. This technique is useful when facing others, as it allows the Earthbender to destroy any earth projectiles sent at them and break out of imprisoning techniques. However, it does not seem to affect objects not made of earth.
 * "Tremor Fault": Command an earthquake to happen.
 * "Earth Lift": To lift a piece of the earth and levitate it in the air.
 * "Rock Fists": To cover user's hands in stone that can be used to push back opponents with solid force.
 * "Rock Tornado": Subjects are hurled into a twister
 * "Mineral Flash": A cosmic blast blinds and may thrust targets.
 * "Fertilizer": To nurture the soil so vegetation is promoted in a concentrated area.
 * "Golem Punch": To create a living creature made out of pure rock and will not move unless ordered. (also, see animation)
 * "Rock Armor:"The user covers their body with stone that works as armor.
 * "Rock Bulletstorm": The user summoms rocks and forms the rock around him/her. Then, the user terrakenetically breaks the rock into small, sharp pieces the size of bullets. The user projects the rock bullets at a speed so fast that they are able to penetrate or destroy their victim/target.
 * Earth Material Control/Manipulation: Controlling and manipulating the earth is not limited to rock or soil alone. One can also control and manipulate coal, gems, crystals, and other earth-based space materials, like meteorites, and even moon rocks and comets.

Personality
Terrakinetic heroes can either be deep, rich, and wise. They have a great love of all living things. They are strong, sturdy, but silent. They are not easily tempted. Other heroes, especially young heroes, can be solitary, bold, and dramatic (like Terra of "Teen Titans").

Villains are seething and brooding types, they don't have a great love of their origins.
