The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Divergent boundaries within continents initially produce rifts, which eventually become rift valleys.
- Most active divergent plate boundaries occur between oceanic plates and exist as mid-oceanic ridges.
- Current research indicates that complex convection within the Earth's mantle allows material to rise to the base of the lithosphere beneath each divergent plate boundary.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Divergent boundary article was read about 40,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 50 and blocks with 27: each hit it takes is cut by 11 %.
