The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The Loop Current is an extension of the western boundary current of the North Atlantic subtropical gyre.
- Serving as the dominant circulation feature in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico, the Loop Currents transports between 23 and 27 sverdrups and reaches maximum flow speeds of from 1.5 to 1.8 meters/second.
- A related feature is an area of warm water with an "eddy" or "Loop Current ring" that separates from the Loop Current, somewhat randomly every 3 to 17 months.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Loop Current article was read about 5,600 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 66 and blocks with 40: each hit it takes is cut by 16 %.
