What reading level is The Geology of Cyprus book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Much may be due to the non-cor- rosive atmosphere, yet not all, for none but good stone could have withstood the centuries of exposure, even in the mildest and most equable of climates; and the same may be said of the Kyrenia stone.
As regards the Igneous rocks, their industrial uses are few at the present time, though there are not wanting evidences that early in the island's history they were exploited for the metals they contained and may still contain.
Copper is said to have been abundant a...t one time so much so that the name of the metal is said to have been derived from that of the island, namely, 6 /CUTT/OO?. But whether the metal was named after the island, or the island after the metal, is a moot point arid remains yet to be determined.
The search for precious metals, whether iron or copper, extended throughout the greater part of the southern mountain range, the centres of activity being indicated by enormous masses of scoria or slag. The principal places where these accumulations occur are Koriio, Lythrodonda, Mitzero (which some authorities hold is the site of ancient Tamassus), Katydhata, Lefka, Limni (where mining operations have recommenced within the last few years), Lyso, Ora, Drapia, etc.
