What reading level is Rivers And Their Mysteries book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If near one of the banks of the river, it may throw the bulk of the water towards the opposite shore with the result that, instead of forming an island, it pro- duces a point or cape of land and the cur- rent, swinging around this, will cut deeper and deeper into the opposite bank, ever pil- ing up material on the outjutting point un- til, where the river had once flowed straight or in a slight curve, a great bend is pro- duced.
Even if there is no obstruction, a river may change its course tre...mendously for the slightest curve or bend in its channel will result in the water flowing more rapidly HOW RIVERS ARE FORMED 43 on the outer side of the curve and more slowly on the inner side and as soon as this occurs the outer banks are cut further and further back and the inner banks are extend- ed further and further out by the constant accumulation of silt and drifting material. This may result in the river gradually alter- ing from a nearly straight stream to a river sweeping in great, graceful bends, for in cut- ting and wearing away the bank a portion of the force of the current is exhausted, the speed of the flowing water is decreased and the more rapidly moving water in the centre of the stream is thus thrown over to the opposite bank where it commences to cut away the shore until a second bend is pro- duced, and thus continuing, the river pro- duces a series of curves to right and left until its course looks like a gigantic, writhing serpent.
