What reading level is The Riddle of Mars the Planet book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It remains to be seen whether the water avail- able from the melting caps is likely to suffice for the full irrigation of all Mars' blue-green areas.
CHAPTER V WATER FROM POLAR CAPS INSUFFICIENT A GOOD portion of the water available from a melting polar snow cap would, on its being used for irrigation, be lost by sinking into the soil and entering into chemical combination and also in the production of vegetation, and would not in con- sequence be again evaporated into the martian air as water ...vapour. The polar caps should therefore decrease in size year by year. They have, however, so far not been seen to do so.
This annual loss of water, as well as the deficiency from the north polar cap referred to in the last chapter, is, therefore, made good in some way, and an additional water supply other than that derived from the melting polar caps must, for these reasons alone, be, consequently, somewhere available on Mars.
It was suggested in the paper referred to in the preface that such extra supply is obtainable in the extensive blue-green areas, and more especially WATER FROM POLAR CAPS 41 so in the desert ' Oases ' of Mars, either as natural springs or more likely from underground supplies artificially brought to the surface of the planet by artesian or deep bore wells.
