What do earth temples look like? What are the more common layouts? What would you find inside? What sort of statues, tapestries, urns? Name one thing you'd find in an earth temple that isn't bleedingly obvious, but which upon hearing will make most Digesters go "Hmmm, yeah.. that makes sense".
We know goddesses and spirits live inside Earth temples: do priestesses as well, or do they live nearby? Wind temples are build for artefacts and spirits, not congregations (who worship in the open air) - do earth temples follow this same rule? Do they split congregations? Do they throw mud for blessings? Do minor shrines double as granaries, or wells, or other things?
I have my own thoughts on this, but would be delighted to hear the perspectives of others.
(Part of a continuing series build on the assumption you can't ask some questions too often.)
