What reading level is The Sea And Its Wonders book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The travelling whirlpools of rotating air we call gales, the tornadoes of America, the hurricanes of the West Indies, the cyclones and typhoons of 102 The Sea and its Wonders the Indian Ocean and China Seas, are the same thing with different local names. They do not always arise from the same cause, 1 they vary in intensity, but they mightily in- fluence the waters over which they ride. They may make the sea merely horribly rough, or they may drive before them a veritable wall of water high eno...ugh to devastate coasts and overwhelm low islands. Always the low pressure in the centre of a cyclone of any intensity sucks up the sea in a lump. It is this suction of the whirling, ascending air that often does more damage than the actual force of the outer air currents, though they blow at a hundred miles an hour or more. It can pull buildings up by the roots and carry them high into the air, or by reducing the air pressure around them, causes them to burst outwards. There is a splendidly graphic picture of a hurricane in Richard Hughes 's fine pirate yarn the high wind of A High Wind in Jamaica.
