What reading level is Geology book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Their attrac- tion on the water of the sea causes its rise and fall, in the movement known as the tides; and the same force has a slight, but, as has been recently found, a perceptible, effect upon the crust of the earth, which rises and falls twice a day like the tide.
Under these various influences the whole crust of the earth is quivering like a fly-wheel. These small tremblings of the earth's crust are known as earth tremors.
In addition to these slight movements, which are perceptible only... to very delicately-mounted instruments, the earth's crust is shaken by violent movements known as earthquakes, which often have disastrous effects.
One chief cause of earthquakes is probably the sinking of the earth's crust, to keep pace with the shrinking of the interior. If the rim of a fly-wheel be broken, the pieces are flung outward; but if all the parts of a fly-wheel were being pulled toward the centre by elastic cords, then when the rim cracked the pieces would be drawn towards the centre until they were jammed in new positions.
