The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- This theoretical dipole is equivalent to a powerful bar magnet inside the Earth.
- The best-fitting dipole generally results from a theoretical magnet that is not precisely at the center of the Earth, this is known as the eccentric dipole model.
- For modern-day Earth a simpler centered dipole model is a close enough approximation to be used for some purposes.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Geomagnetic pole article was read about 15,000 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 38: each hit it takes is cut by 15 %.
