The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Forearc regions are present along convergent margins and eponymously form 'in front of' the volcanic arcs that are characteristic of convergent plate margins.
- A back-arc region is the companion region behind the volcanic arc.
- Many forearcs have an accretionary wedge which may form a topographic ridge known as an outer arc ridge that parallels the volcanic arc.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Forearc article was read about 7,600 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 58 and blocks with 40: each hit it takes is cut by 16 %.
