These two patterns are the same. Recall that the world is composed of four elemental planes, and each element is attracted to its plane. This explains why rocks fall but air rises in water.
Classically, we would expect the plane of fire to lie above the atmosphere, because fire rises in air. But in this case, fire is the lowest plane.
I now want to see someone write a high school physics’ handbook in which every single fact that gets mentioned is correctly described, but everything is interpreted according to Aristotelian physics.
