Tiberium infestation has rendered 30% of the planet totally uninhabitable. Large swaths of the Earth's surface have been designated as "Red Zones" - areas that are desolate, swept by storms, and contaminated by vast amounts of Tiberium. Venturing into, over, or even near these wastelands can be extremely dangerous.

Beyond the Red Zones, Tiberium contamination has caused varying levels of environmental damage in another 50% of the Earth's populated areas. In the ecologically compromised and war torn Yellow Zones, Tiberium fields are common - growing in the middle of cities, on farmland, and throughout the environment. Tiberium-related climate change has caused an endless cycle of droughts, floods, and severe weather of all types including spectacular Category 6 hurricanes, tornadoes with wind speeds of 500 miles per hour, and exceedingly violent thunderstorms. Especially destructive Ion Storms occasionally rage out of the Red Zones to wreak havoc on cities and towns in the borderlands.

Only 20% of the Earth's surface is in relatively pristine condition. Blue Zones suffer from minimal Tiberium infestation and have been relatively untouched by war. The populations of the Blue Zones live in relative comfort, going about their lives in high-tech futuristic cities that sit in forested valleys or nestle in pastoral farmland.

泰伯利亞污染已經(jīng)使地球30%的地區(qū)不適宜居住。地球表面的大片區(qū)域被標(biāo)示為“紅區(qū)”——那些荒涼，風(fēng)暴肆虐，被大量泰伯利亞污染的地區(qū)。冒險(xiǎn)進(jìn)入，穿過，甚至于接近這些荒原都是非常危險(xiǎn)的行為。

在紅區(qū)之外，泰伯利亞污染使另外50%人口居住地的環(huán)境造成不同程度的破壞。在環(huán)境破壞和戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)摧殘的黃區(qū)，泰礦地很常見——生長在城市中央，田地之上，遍布整片環(huán)境。泰礦相關(guān)的環(huán)境變化導(dǎo)致了永無止境的干旱，洪水，各種惡劣天氣，包括驚人的六級(jí)颶風(fēng)，時(shí)速500英里的龍卷風(fēng)和極其猛烈的雷暴（譯注：目前真實(shí)世界上還沒有出現(xiàn)過六級(jí)颶風(fēng)，最大的也是五級(jí)，但據(jù)說哥斯拉能做到）。尤其是破壞性的離子風(fēng)暴偶爾會(huì)從紅區(qū)擴(kuò)散出去，對(duì)周邊城鎮(zhèn)造成嚴(yán)重破壞。

只有20%的地球表面還處于相對(duì)來說未受損害的狀態(tài)。藍(lán)區(qū)遭受泰礦污染最少，且相對(duì)而言未受戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)影響。藍(lán)區(qū)居民的生活相對(duì)舒適，他們生活在高科技都市中，這些都市坐落于森林山谷或是依偎田園。
