What reading level is A Field Guide to the Geology of Franklin Park book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This region, however, is quite different geologically from the rest of New England.
Southeastern New England is referred to as a part of the Avalonian terrain or microcontinent, by which we mean that geologically it is much more similar to the geology of the eastern part of the Maritime provinces of Canada, of southern Ireland, Wales, southern England, western Europe, and northwestern Africa than it is to western New England, to which it is now attached.
The rocks of the Boston area and southea...stern New England (Fig. 1) are dominantly igneous plutonic and volcanic rocks, and sediments derived by the erosion of these once molten materials. In other words, we interpret the Avalonian terrain of the Boston area as having been part of a volcanic archipelago during the time period from about 900 to about 570 million years ago, perhaps not unlike the Japanese archipelago off the coast of Asia today. There is evidence that the Avalonian archipelago or microcontinent lay closer to Africa than it did to North America at the time of its formation.
