We know Explosion Release is earth-based, earth + fire = lava, earth + wind = magnet, earth + water = wood, earth + lightning = explosion is the only logical choice left. There isn't any other possible option. That sounds plausible but there is also another plausible theory which is explosive chakra and earth chakra theory for Explosion release, if you look at it makes sense why Sasuke stated Earth is weak to Lightning, here because it just contains earth and the earth became weak because he overloaded with lighning, Sasuke didn't say lightning was also a component, I agree with Omnibender, it doesn't work like that, it's just odd. EDIT:Just read Tau's post so I think there is no such thing as Explosion chakra.

Scorch is Fire + Wind if it is vulnerable to water then it is not the case like Explosion release which is Earth+Lightning vulnerable to Lightning.
