What reading level is The Marvels of Geology: the Story of the Making of the Earth With Some Account of Prehistoric Animal Life, All Told in Nontechnical Language book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He finds that if it were built from surface to surface of hardened steel it would be just about as heavy and as hard — or as rigid. The steel would be like that used for the armour - plate of battleships. Dr. See is not prepared, however, to discard the idea that the earth has a large fluid interior. If it were fluid, yet it would be subjected to such enormous pressure by its own weight, that if there were a moderately thick earth-crust, its tidal surgings would be so " cabinM, cribbed, confine...d," that they would be comparatively ineffectual. We must not run away with the idea (against which Dr. See specially warns us), that there is any free circulation of currents within the fluid interior. The rigidity produced by pressure (or weight) is too great for that. Indeed, this pressure is so great that, as another scientific authority, Professor Arrhenius, has pointed out, . the matter at the core of the earth might even be gaseous ; and yet would be so compressed by pressure that it would possess a rigidity equal to the hardest steel.
