What reading level is Outlines of the Earth's History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We see a tolerably good illustration of thesame principle when we observe a wind-made wave enter a small recessof the shore, the sides of which converge in the direction of themotion. With the diminished room, the wave gains in height. It thuscomes about that the tide throughout the Atlantic basin is much higherthan in the southern ocean. On the same principle, when the tide rollsin against the shores every embayment of a distinct kind, whose sidesconverge toward the head, packs up the tidal wa...ve, often increasingits height in a remarkable way. When these bays are wide-mouthed andof elongate triangular form, with deep bottoms, the tides which ontheir outer parts have a height of ten or fifteen feet may attain analtitude of forty or fifty feet at the apex of the triangle.
We have already noted the fact that the tide, such as runs in thesouthern ocean, exercises little or no influence upon the bottom ofthe sea over which it moves. As the height of the confined watersincreases, the range of their journey over the bottom as the wavecomes and goes rapidly increases.
