The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- During his lifetime he was primarily known for his achievements in meteorology and as a pioneer of polar research, but today he is most remembered as the originator of the continental drift hypothesis by suggesting in 1912 that the continents are slowly drifting around the Earth.
- His hypothesis was not accepted by mainstream geology until the 1960s, when numerous discoveries such as palaeomagnetism provided strong support for continental drift, and thereby a substantial basis for today's model of plate tectonics.
- Wegener was involved in several expeditions to Greenland to study polar air circulation before the existence of the jet stream was accepted.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Alfred Wegener article was read about 120,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 74 and blocks with 69: each hit it takes is cut by 28 %.
