What reading level is Introduction to the Soils of California book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
102 Soils of Cajlifobnia IMPERIAL SERIES. They occur in the Imperial Valley, which is a portion of the Colorado River delta. This region was once occupied by a northern extension of the Gulf of California into which the Colorado River poured its sediment-laden stream, building up an extensive submarine delta. Later the region be- came a lagoon shut off from the sea. The marine and lagoon phases are marked by extensive beach line deposits. The lagoon phase fluctuated between salt and brackish wa...ter stages and was later replaced by an arid basin that at its lowest point was 260 feet bclozi' sea level. Since that time repeated overflows of the river have carried suspended sediments into the basin, burying the older deposits at various depths. The surface materials from which the soils are derived are not continuous, but form thin irregular lenses of sediment. The chief agent now at work is the wind, which excavates, transports and deposits a large quan- tity of material annually. The greater proportion of the soils consist of clay and silt, the heavier soils predominating.
