None of those thing make up matter.
they are all states of matter.
Water is a chemical molecule created by the combination of 2 hydrogen atoms and one oxygen
(H2O)
Air is the gaseous forms of atoms and some lighter molecules
Fire is the rapid oxidization of combustible matter, its similar to rusting a nail super super fast.
Earth is dense molecules of metals and carbon and other things like that, its no one thing to itself.
Fire is made by friction when two things are rubbed together. And Earth and water are the things which are made by god.
These things were considered by the Ancient Greeks to be the elements which made up (in different proportions) all matter.
Empedocles believed that all matter in the universe is composed of four elements: earth, air, fire, and water. He thought that these elements mix and separate through the forces of love and strife, creating and transforming all things in the cosmos.
Matter is made up of 4 states (currently 5) Solid - earth, liquid- water, gas- air and plasma - fire biso-eintsein -
The four elements that Greek philosophers believed to be the only ones were earth, fire, air, and water. They thought that all matter was composed of different combinations of these elements.
Basically they were fire, air, earth, and water. He has ways of defining everything that existed into these 4 categories. Things that became hot were fire, gases were all air, and rocks were earth. Just stuff.

He did not picture the atom...he believed that matter was made of water, air, earth and fire.
