I got this question on the discussion for the Wood Elemental, and since 3e may be the first exposure some have had to the inner planes, I thought this breakdown would be good info:
Quasi-elemental planes occur on the boundaries between the primary 4 elemental planes and the Positive and Negative Material planes, where the "pure" traits, the logical conclusions, are brought out of the primary element, as follows:
Earth-positive = Mineral
Earth-negative = Dust
Fire-positive = Radiance
Fire-negative = Ash
Water-positive = Steam
Water-negative = Salt
Air-positive = Lightning
Air-negative = Vacuum
The quasi-elemental planes are explained in some detail by the old planar appendices to 2e AD&D, but they are only passingly covered in the 3e MotP.
