What reading level is The Cooling Globe Or the Mechanics of Geology book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
19 So, in the broad Pacific, the long chains of atolls, as ingeniously divined by Darwin, plainly betoken the ex- istence of submerged mountain-ridges, and of craters, which, in former ages, played an important part in throwing off the heat of the shrinking nucleus, and pre- paring the globe for the destructive cataclysms which have divided the geological ages. The evidence of sunken craters, derived from lagoon formations, is strengthened by the half-sunken crater of St. Paul's, in the Indian ...Ocean, just described ; while, the coral chains of the Laccadives and Maldives, further north, are only a repetition of the same phenomena, much more largely distributed, in the tropical latitudes of the Pacific.
Partial subsidences of great areas are as palpable as total submergences. The general dip southward of North America is a remarkable example of this ; and minor ones are as numerous as the water-sheds and syn- clinal valleys throughout the planet.
But the question will naturally be asked in this stage of our inquiry, What substantial evidence now exists of empty spaces beneath the crust ?
