Control vs Telekinesis

Yeah, the simple 'Lift Rock then Throw' would be with TK, or just moving earth. Control should be used for sculpture as an alternate.

You want King Bumi style Earth-surfing? Get Flight (Low altitude, Matter surfing, Environmental)

The thing about the Bending styles is that there are set abilities which the beginners are taught, but they also encourage free-form creations which eventually also become set abilities. That sounds more like Power Stunts to me, though Control or TK may be the base on which those stunts are created.

So I'd say use Control or TK (it should depend on either the Bending style or character preference) as the base for Alternative Abilities. For free form bending, either use Power Stunts or use the optional Wildcard Powers rules from Supers, using Control or TK as the base and record which forms abilities they've used as a form of Wildcard Ability.
