To all the people trying to deliberate elemental combinations with ONLY physics and chemistry, that's not how discussions like this are supposed to work. These are classical elements that have certain characteristics/functions that correspond to their respective elemental type. This is why, in Naruto for example, earth and water combine to make wood style; water and wind combine to make ice style; and plenty of examples in Dungeons & Dragons. But I do agree that the basic elements are by absolutely no means weak because of the points Solipsius listed above.
