  2. Deccan Traps - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deccan_Traps

    The Deccan Traps are a large igneous province of west-central India (17–24°N, 73–74°E). They are one of the largest volcanic features on Earth, taking the form of a large shield volcano. [2] They consist of many layers of solidified flood basalt that together are more than about 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) thick, cover an area of about ...

  3. Siberian Traps - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siberian_Traps

    The Siberian Traps (Russian: Сибирские траппы, romanized: Sibirskiye trappy) are a large region of volcanic rock, known as a large igneous province, in Siberia, Russia. The massive eruptive event that formed the traps is one of the largest known volcanic events in the last 500 million years. The eruptions continued for roughly ...

  4. Columbia River Basalt Group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_River_Basalt_Group

    The Columbia River Basalt Group (including the Steen and Picture Gorge basalts) extends over portions of four states. The Columbia River Basalt Group (CRBG) is the youngest, smallest and one of the best-preserved continental flood basalt provinces on Earth, covering over 210,000 km 2 (81,000 sq mi) mainly eastern Oregon and Washington, western Idaho, and part of northern Nevada.

  5. Magma chamber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magma_chamber

    A magma chamber is a large pool of liquid rock beneath the surface of the Earth. The molten rock, or magma, in such a chamber is less dense than the surrounding country rock, which produces buoyant forces on the magma that tend to drive it upwards. [1] If the magma finds a path to the surface, then the result will be a volcanic eruption ...

  6. Fish trap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_trap

    A fish trap is a trap used for catching fish and other aquatic animals of value. Fish traps include fishing weirs, cage traps, fish wheels and some fishing net rigs such as fyke nets. [1] The use of traps are culturally almost universal around the world and seem to have been independently invented many times. There are two main types of trap, a ...

  7. Flood basalt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_basalt

    The upper basalt is Roza Member, while the lower canyon exposes Frenchmen Springs Member basalt. A flood basalt (or plateau basalt[1]) is the result of a giant volcanic eruption or series of eruptions that covers large stretches of land or the ocean floor with basalt lava. Many flood basalts have been attributed to the onset of a hotspot ...

  8. Volcanic plug - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanic_plug

    An aerial view of the Gros Piton and Petit Piton, in St. Lucia, 2006. A volcanic plug, also called a volcanic neck or lava neck, is a volcanic object created when magma hardens within a vent on an active volcano. When present, a plug can cause an extreme build-up of high gas pressure if rising volatile -charged magma is trapped beneath it, and ...

  9. Mantle plume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantle_plume

    A superplume generated by cooling processes in the mantle (LVZ = low-velocity zone) [1] A mantle plume is a proposed mechanism of convection within the Earth's mantle, hypothesized to explain anomalous volcanism. [2] Because the plume head partially melts on reaching shallow depths, a plume is often invoked as the cause of volcanic hotspots ...
