What reading level is A Treatise On Metamorphism volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
However, in the belt of cementation the ruptures are not so close as to cut all, or even any considerable proportion, of the mineral particles. Between the amount of rupturing necessary to produce particles a fraction of a centimeter across and that necessary to affect every mineral particle there is a very wide gap. In general, near the surface the ruptures are likely to be widely spaced, with considerable differential movement along the fractures. As depth increases, so that the rocks are sub...ject to the weight of the superincumbent material, the ruptures are likely to be closer together. When the depth become so great that the fractures affect the individual mineral particles, the zone of anamorphism, or rock flowage, has been reached. The fractures produced in rocks must take place as a result of tensile or compressive stresses. Where the rocks are homogeneous and the fractures are by tensile stresses, they take place normal to the force. Where the fractures are by compressive stresses and this is probably much more com- mon the ruptures are inclined to the direction of maximum compressive stress.
