There likely isn't a pattern and this isn't the case all the time, but in some, I have noticed something. Even though a dual combined nature is 2 basic nature transformation used simultaneously, the concept behind the resulting combined nature seem to be one basic nature applied onto the other.

Fire + Earth for example. Fire melts the Earth, resulting in molten earth = Lava Water + Earth. Water nourishes the Earth, resulting in plant growth = Wood Water + Wind. Water freezes in the Wind, resulting in frozen water = Ice

And so on. Therefore I can't really see how Earth makes the Lightning explode or the Lightning makes the Earth explode. Lightning strikes the Earth like during a storm, resulting in an explosion? Well, sure, but that seems to be stretching it too much to make sense.

Earth + Lightning = Steel makes more sense. Metals are in the earth and they respond to electricity. Likewise Fire + Lightning = Explosion makes more sense.
