The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It applies physics, chemistry and mathematics to the understanding of how mantle convection leads to plate tectonics and geologic phenomena such as seafloor spreading, mountain building, volcanoes, earthquakes, or faulting.
- It also attempts to probe the internal activity by measuring magnetic fields, gravity, and seismic waves, as well as the mineralogy of rocks and their isotopic composition.
- Methods of geodynamics are also applied to exploration of other planets.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Geodynamics article was read about 7,100 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 60 and blocks with 45: each hit it takes is cut by 18 %.
How to get Geodynamics
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.
