Ah, now you're attempting to apply a scientific explanation onto why mud isn't apart of earth. However, you must note that naruto basically uses magic lol. Magic can imitate and justify science, but science cannot imitate and justify magic. Anywho, Hiding in Mist Technique is a water style technique but is used in the misty form. In reality, that couldn't happen without several chemical reactions to convert water into mist, however Zabuza and Mei produce it without initiating these chemical reactions. You know? I do see what you're saying, but you don't really need water and earth for mud.
