What reading level is The Earth: a Descriptive History of the Phenomena of the Life of the Globe book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
188. Volcanoes of Java. The island, also present a very majestic appearance on account of their iso- lation. Those on the western side are based upon an undulating plateau, which causes them to lose their appearance of height ; but on the east all the volcanic mountains rise up from verdant plains like islands above the waves of the sea, and command the horizon far and wide with their enor- mous cones. Between the Merapi and Lavoe mountains lies a depression, the highest ledge of which exceeds ...the level of the sea by only 312 feet. Between Lavoe and Villis the plain is 230 feet in height. Lastly, the plains which separate the Villis and Kelceet mountains nowhere attain an elevation of more than 200 feet above the ocean. * In the external details of their conformation many of the volcanoes of Java present a regularity of outline which is all the more striking, since they owe it in great part to the monsoon rains, the most destructive agents of the tropical regions. In beating against the mountains, the clouds let fall their burden of moisture on the slopes composed of ashes and loose scoriae.
