These are the old "Aristotelian elements" and have nothing to do with elements as defined by modern science. The four "Aristotelian elements" originated in the philosophy of the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle.

In a very vague way they loosely correspond to the concept of the states of matter in modern science:

  1. earth - solid
  2. water - liquid
  3. air - gas
  4. fire - plasma
