The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Foreland basins form because the immense mass created by crustal thickening associated with the evolution of a mountain belt causes the lithosphere to bend, by a process known as lithospheric flexure.
- The width and depth of the foreland basin is determined by the flexural rigidity of the underlying lithosphere, and the characteristics of the mountain belt.
- The foreland basin receives sediment that is eroded off the adjacent mountain belt, filling with thick sedimentary successions that thin away from the mountain belt.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Foreland basin article was read about 13,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 69 and blocks with 53: each hit it takes is cut by 21 %.
