Please include a list of ALL of them please. Wikipedia help may help but also summarize it. I don't like long things. I like lists. The elements are not just, water, fire, earth, and air. Include those in the list, but not just them.

I disagree with an earlier answerer, while water, fire, earth and air are NOT chemical elements, they are astrological or classical elements. The elements of existence are many, but classically they are:
*******
In western civilization (Classical Greece):
Fire, Earth, Air, Water, Aether/Heavens (Quintessence), and Idea.
*******
In eastern civilizations:

Classical China:
There are Heaven and Earth (Earth separated into five elements.)
Earth Elements:
Fire, Earth, Water, Wood and Metal.
(Air is replaced by energy/force in the Tao.)

Classical Japan:
Fire, Earth, Water, Air/Wind, Void/Sky/Heaven.
(Chinese and Japanese classical elements are very similar, Japanese having borrowed from Chinese culture.)

Classical India:
Fire, Earth, Water, Air/Wind, and Aether.

Classical Himalayan:
Fire (Temperature), Earth (Solidity), Water (Cohesion),
Air (Motion), and Space (Dimensions of distance, direction).
********
Ancient Egyptian:
Fire, Earth, Water, and Air.
(And the elements of personality were Ka, Ba, Akh, Name, and Shadow).
(I'm not as certain with the Egyptian elements.)
*******
I'll have to do the classical and ancient elements of other cultures at another date and time, you said you wanted a summary anyway. Fiction and video games have more elements, like attack or magical attack element types, but I don't think that is what you were asking for. Then there are also elements of thought, concepts or theses and premises, but I don't think you meant that as well. There are so many kinds of "elements" figure of speech or no figure of speech.

Too bad you don't like e.mail or IM's, I could be wrong but you seem cute. I of course mean that only in the most complimentary and appropriate manner of course.

I hope that was helpful.

Good Day.

I don't think elements are what you're looking for. Earth Wind and fire are not elements. They r commonly, but wrongly, refered to as elements, I don't kow who coined this term but in actuallity there is no catergory into which those three fall together. In my opinion u r on a chase for a nonexistant catergory and will b unsucessful b/c really calling earth, wind and fire elements is really just a figure of speech
