Storywise, how could Elsa's encouter with the Earth element be considered a "confrontation"? - Paper boat near globe in room

In the film Frozen 2, Elsa goes on a quest and encounters (meets) the four elemental spirits (each with a unique form of manifestation), for each of which she has a different experience. As subtlety indicated in the trailer, she has confrontations (fights) the elements of Wind, Fire, and Water to see who the stronger element. It should come as no surprise that she wins over each of them and shows her dominance-all three are delightful scenes to watch.

However, her encounter with the element of Earth, via a rock giant, is not a direct fight in which she uses her powers to "tame" it compared to the other three, as the Wikipedia on the giants notes. Storywise, is there a possible way to view Elsa's brief encounter with the Earth element as "confrontation" akin to her battles with the other three elements?
