What reading level is The Andes And the Amazon book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
] We will now speak more particularly of the Andes of the equator. Themountain chain is built up of granite, gneissoid, and schistose rocks, often in vertical position, and capped with trachyte and porphyry. [60]Large masses of _solid_ rock are rarely seen; every thing is cracked, calcined, or triturated. While in Bolivia the Eastern Cordillera shows asuccession of sharp, ragged peaks, in contrast with the conical summitsof the Cordillera of the coast, there is no such distinction in theAndes o...f the equator. [61] The Eastern Cordillera has a greater meanheight, and it displays more volcanic activity. Twenty volcanicmountains surround the valley, of which twelve are in the orientalchain. Three of the twenty are now active (Cotopaxi, Sangai, andPichincha), and five others are known to have erupted since the Conquest(Chiles, Imbabura, Guamani, Tunguragua, and Quirotoa). The truncatedcone of Cotopaxi, the jagged, Alpine crest of ruined Altar, and the domeof Chimborazo, are the representative forms of the volcanic summits.
