What reading level is Outlines of Geonomy a Treatise On the Physical Laws of the Earth And the Creati book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It must, therefore, be of nearly a uniform thickness ; and since granite is exceedingly non-conductive, I see no reason for supposing the crust to be more than one mile thick in any place.
LOWLANDS, PLATEAUS, AND MOUNTAINS. 109 SECTION VI.
RELATION OF LOWLANDS, PLATEAUS, AND MOUNTAINS TO EACH OTHER AND TO EARTHQUAKES.
The term plateau is applied to a series of valleys be- tween mountains of comparatively moderate height. In the progress of continental elevation, plateaus must have once been isl...ands, with groups of mountains running across them, after the manner of Great Britain and Ire- land. The same upheaving cause which raises a succession of narrow mountains forms them into a group, and rends their axes to give vent to igneous rocks, operates in a more steady and quiet, though perhaps really more pow- erful manner, to produce those elevations of the land which we call plateaus. We may regard a plateau as a wider species of mountain, or a succession of nearly parallel ridges of mountains, which anciently was an island ; and in being afterwards elevated to its present height, it drew the lower lands after it from the sea, and forced up the mountain ridges as much higher as it rose itself.
