What reading level is The Geography of California book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The remaining portion belongs in Southern California, and will be described later.
The earthquake of 1906 opened the northern half of the rift, making a sixteen-foot horizontal displacement near Pt. Arena. This decreased to a foot or less near The Coast Ranges 107 San Juan in San Benito county. The southern half of the rift opened in the great Tejon earthquake of 1857.
We might as well recognize the fact that earthquakes may happen any time along this rift, and be prepared to meet them. Earthqu...ake movements similar to that of 1906 have been the main factor in the origin of our lofty mountains and magnificent scenery, and I am sure that with this insight we should be willing to take them philo- sophically.
Natural Resources. — The Coast Ranges are distin- guished from most of the other mountains of California in that they contain few deposits of the precious metals. Cinnabar, the ore of quicksilver, is the most important mineral product, unless we except petroleum. It is found in many places in the region southeast of Clear Lake, at New Almaden, near San Jose, where it was first mined in the State; at New Idria, in San Benito county, and in San Luis Obispo county.
