What reading level is Physical Geography book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is a deep silence over this high frozen country. Now and then a gust of wind brings up from the far distance the sound of some remote waterfall or the dash of a mountain torrent At times, too, there comes a harsh roar as of thunder, when some mass of ice or snow, loosened from the rest, shoots down the precipices. But these noises only make the silence the deeper when they have passed away.
1 86. Let us see why it is that perpetual snow should occur in such regions, and what part this sno...w plays in the general machinery of the world.
187. You have learnt (Art. 96) that the higher parts of the atmosphere are extremely cold. You know also that in the far north and the far south, around those two opposite parts of the earth's surface called the Poles, the cUmate is extremely cold— so cold as to give rise to dreary expanses of ice and snow, where sea and land are frozen, and where the heat of surnmer is not enough to thaw all the ice and drive away all the snow. Between these two polar tracts of cold, wher- ever mountains are lofty enough to get into the high parts of the atmosphere where the temperature is usually below the freezing-point, the vapour condensed from the air falls upon them, not as rain, but as snow.
