Sorry for the play on words.

Take a look at airbender, it's a subtle difference between them. creating something that channels air has a.... a specific point of greatest effect followed by dispersion/decay, where as water flows in a wave keeping the full force along it's edge as it gathers momentum and then ebbs away. Iirc actually Ivy uses the same principle I describe above to disperse fire blasts from the denarians with far greater precision.
Although Elaine, who I account as a natural with Air, does actually uses a 'spider-sense' ring, to precog incoming dangers.
*ahh the difference is basically the difference of Energy vs Momentum. Momentum is Mass x Velocity, Energy is One half mass times Velocity, times Velocity again. So how they express themselves in the same relative usage is entirely different.

jamescagney22:
Elements do seem to have duality among them so perhaps fire is similar to earth except instead of being redirected towards the ground it is towards other targets hopefully will we see this later in the series.
