For air, I'd think more "vortex" than "maelstrom". In terms of destructive earth events, I'd think "eruption" or "cataclysm".

Deluge for water, Conflagration for Fire, Maelstrom for Air...

Im stuck on earth. 


Any ideas?

Too specific.  Same with avalanche.  Im looking for none specific earth-based destruction.  :-\

The Corvidian:
Upheaval?

Noey:
What about eruption, like a volcano?
