What reading level is Familiar Science Studies book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In this way we may readily con- ceive, as Sir Charles Lyell has remarked, that a. Glacier 10. 000 feet above the sea level would endure as long as the snows of Mont Blanc, unless heated by volcanic heat from below. It is worthy of notice that in the Antarctic seas there is an island called Deception Island, which is almost entirely composed, according to the authority of Lieut. Kendall, of alternate layers of ice and volcanic ashes. One of the most perplexing subjects to geologists is the exist...ence of so remarkable a valley as the Val del Bove, breaking the contour of the dome of Etna nearly to the summit. It must be remembered that there are few subjects which have been more carefully examined than the question of the formation of valleys and ravines. The primary agent recognised by geologists is the action of subterranean forces in upheaving and depressing the land. In this way, doubt- less, all the principal valleys have been formed. But fluviatile influences have also to be considered : and a valley which exists upon the flank of a mountain may, in nearly every instance, be ascribed to the action of running water.
