Water (Hydrologic) covers the consequences of sea level rise, storm surges and altered precipitation that lead to both flooding and drought.

Land (Geologic) covers the consequences of land movement including earthquakes and the movement of land resulting from compaction, which leads to liquefaction, erosion, landslides and subsidence.

(Atmospheric) focuses on the effects of rising atmospheric temperatures, which leads to higher wind speeds driving more powerful tropical cyclones and extreme heat, in turn creating the conditions for drought and wildfires.
