Also according to the anime each element has its opposite Air is the opposite of Earth and Fire is the opposite of Water. That is why it was so difficult for Aang to learn earth bending. Also Iroh learned how to re-rout lightning while studying water benders.

I don’t think one element is stronger than the other three. What I do think is that one bender might me stronger than others no matter what bender style he is. The difference between benders is not measure by how strong they are but it is measure by how much they know that is why The Avatar is the #1 bender because he knows all four styles of bending.
