* The Bigs from ''[[The Big O]]'' fit the common characterizations of their spheres; [[The Hero|Big O (land)]] [[Wild Card|Big Duo (sky)]] [[Big Bad|Big Fau (sea)]]
* Magmatron from ''[[Beast Wars Neo]]'' has his units Landsaur, Skysaur and Seasaur.
* In ''[[Bleach]]'', there's a subtle name theming referred to these three elements in the Shiba siblings: Kaien (Kai = Sea), Ganju (Gan = Rock, hence earth) and Kukaku (Ku = Sky).
* The Three Great Beasts, Behemoth (Land), Leviathan (Sea), and Ziz (Sky).▼
* In [[Greek Mythology]], Zeus got land and sky, Poseidon got the ocean, and Hades drew the short straw for the Underworld.▼
** Also, there are the primordial gods Gaia (the earth), Uranus (the sky), and Pontus (the sea). Gaia, the first and born out of Chaos, conceived Uranus and Pontus via parthenogenesis, and [[Incest Is Relative|then mated with them]]. Most notably, the Titans and Greek pantheon were the byproduct of her union with Uranus. Additionally, Tartarus (the hell-pit) was sometimes perceived as a primordial deity/force of nature.▼
* A common referent in [[Celtic Mythology]].▼

** The Hayate/Wind Ninja Academy in ''[[Ninpuu Sentai Hurricanger]]''/''[[Power Rangers Ninja Storm]]'' teaches these three disciplines, and the three core Rangers each wield one. Interestingly enough, the Rangers that join the team later use different abilities altogether (the next two, from a rival academy, use Thunder; and the sixth is either Fire or [[Non-Elemental]] depending on which show you're watching).
** ''[[Tensou Sentai Goseiger]]'' has a team of ''two'' Rangers of each, though one of the sea Rangers was killed off in the backstory. Gosei Knight uses all three.
