Why people switch from building cards by hand

When you need to make an Anki deck online, the slow part is usually typing out every term and definition from a chapter. A generator reads the source file and proposes cards, so your time goes into checking them instead of copying them.

Example plate tectonics flashcards

What are the three main types of plate boundaries?Divergent, convergent and transform. Each is defined by how the two plates move relative to each other.

What is subduction?The process where a denser oceanic plate sinks beneath another plate into the mantle. It is the main setting for deep ocean trenches.

What is the leading explanation for what drives plate movement?Mantle convection, with slab pull generally considered the strongest driver because a sinking plate pulls the rest of the plate along.

Why does the Pacific Ring of Fire have so many earthquakes and volcanoes?It follows many subduction zones around the Pacific, where plates collide and melt rock rises to form volcanoes.

How does oceanic crust differ from continental crust?Oceanic crust is denser and mostly basaltic, while continental crust is less dense and mostly granitic, so it tends to float higher.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for plate tectonics?

Aim for roughly 20 to 40 cards per chapter, focusing on terms, boundary types and causes. Split long readings into separate decks so each study session stays manageable.

How do I study an Anki deck effectively?

Review cards daily and rate each one honestly so spaced repetition can schedule the hard ones sooner. Short sessions of 15 to 20 minutes usually work better than one long cram.

Can I export my flashcards to Anki?

Yes, on the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month, which also includes unlimited generations. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No. You can start on the free plan with 3 generations per month and no credit card. Students get 40% off with a school email.
