What reading level is New Physical Geography book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Steam rises from its crater (Fig. 209), and every few years there is an eruption.
Then lava issues from fissures iii the mountain side and flows in enormous masses down the slopes, even to the sea, often destroying villages on the way. There are scores of small cones, 200 to 300 feet high, built along these fissures (Figs.
209, 210).
Etna rises 10,870 feet above the sea, and at its base has a cir- cumference of over 60 miles. It is so high that, although oranges and bananas grow at its base, th...e climate at the top is frigid.
This great cone is made entirely of lava and ash forced out from within the earth by steam. The recent lava flows, those only a few score years old, are barren masses of black rock too rough to cross. But this lava decays so readily, and forms such a fertile soil, that in a century portions of a flow are fit for cultivation.
Soil is often gathered in baskets and placed between the lava blocks for the planting of grapevines.
Summary. — The huge cone of Etna is mnde of lava, issuing mainly as great floivs from fissures in its flanks.
