What reading level is Biographical Memoir of Clarence King 1842 1901 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Perhaps his most enduring theoretical discussion of that time was that on hypogeal fusion, in which, accepting the validity of the physical arguments against the fluid interior of the earth, he discusses and rejects Hopkins' theory of residual lakes and Mallett's conception of local lakes produced by mechanical crush- ing. He then advances an hypothesis of his own which may be called that of a critical shell, or couche, between the permanently solid interior and the outer crust of the earth, wh...ich is above the temperature of fusion but restrained from fusion by pressure. In this, therefore, the opposing forces of pressure and tempera- ture hold themselves reciprocally in equilibrium, but when this equilibrium is disturbed, as, for instance, by a sudden change of the relative position of isobars and isotherms say by local erosion and rapid transfer of load within limited areas local lakes of fusion would be created. Iddings, in his "Origin of Igneous Rocks, " says of King's treatment of this subject: "By the breadth of his treatment and by better and fuller data he advanced the problem of the origin of the various kinds of vol- canic rocks far beyond the point reached by any of his prede- cessors.
