What reading level is Elementary Physical Geography An Outline of Physiography book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Surface streams flow quickly away in their channels, but the underground waters must trickle slowly through chan- nels that are ill-adapted, spending their energy not only in forcing their way through passages that perhaps are self-made, but also in keeping the passages clear of ob- structions. The work of surface waters, therefore, is com- paratively easy and simple ; that of undergroimd drainage is vastly more difficult.
If the prevailing rock of a region be mainly of clay, or slate, or other... impervious rock, the imderground di'ainage will be close to the surface, ^ for such rocks not only pre- vent the passage of water, but they are also insoluble. In such cases the water must trickle through the top soil much in the same Avay that water passes through a filter made of sand and gravel — that is, it must flow in the spaces be- tween the particles of rock waste.
On the other hand, if the rock of a region is mainly of limestone, and more especially if the strata be broken and 132 UNDERGROUND WATERS 13-^ faulted, ^ imdergrouud drainage is apt to be very extensive.
