What reading level is The Building of the Alps book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
2 Alpine Journal^ vol. Xix. P. 29.
3 J. Ruskin, Geol. Mag. , 1865, p. 50.
199 The Building of the Alps The late Sir A. Ramsay, in a paper published in I862, 1 attributed these basins, large as well as small, to the excavatory power of glaciers, and the advocates of this explanation would now probably command a majority of geologists. His arguments may be sum- marised under three heads : 2 (i) Lakes are abundant in glaciated regions ; (2) glaciers are potent exca- vators ; and (3) no agent but i...ce is competent to produce a lake basin. The first is true, and I have never denied that, under favourable circumstances, small lake basins tarns, like that at the Grimsel, or in scores of places in the Alpine region, with the lake- lets fairly numerous in our own mountainous districts and more so in Scandinavia may have had this origin, though, as it seems to me, we begin to find serious difficulties in the Lake District of England and the larger lakes in the Highlands. 3 Some tarns, also, may be put aside at once as formed oy moraines, which have blocked the course of a stream ; 4 others may be the result of the removal of a rock-mass more soluble than those with which it is associated ; 5 and there are others, such as crater lakes, which need not be considered.
