The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- For quartz and feldspar-rich rocks in continental crust, the transition zone occurs at an approximate depth of 20 km, at temperatures of 250–400 °C.
- At this depth, rock becomes less likely to fracture, and more likely to deform ductilely by creep because the brittle strength of a material increases with confining pressure, while its ductile strength decreases with increasing temperature.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Brittle–ductile transition zone article was read about 6,100 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 48 and blocks with 23: each hit it takes is cut by 9 %.
How to get Brittle–ductile transition zone
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
