What reading level is Geology Chapters of Earth History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
) and 1000 fathoms respectively. As the deeper waters are reached, the coarse shingle and sand are soon left behind; the sediments become finer and finer, until, at about 400 fathoms, the last traces of land-mud are found. This depth, commonly spoken of as the mud-line, marks the boundary of the terrigenous deposits, as these debris of the land are appropriately termed. It may be a matter for some surprise that the distribution of these deposits should be regulated by depth, not by distance fro...m the shore. Where the waters remain shallow, the land sediments may be carried out several hundred miles; on a rapidly deepening sea bed they are limited to a very narnr:: belt. But let us consider how they come to be distributed at all, why they do not wholly accumulate at the mouths of the rivers or the foot of the cliffs. We have seen that when a river enters a lake, its sediment is dropped as soon as the water is brought nearly to a standstill. So, again, the stoppage of the current on entering the sea leads to the deposit of material at the mouth of the estuary.
