Deccan Traps

The point is also famous for the view of Deccan traps, which look like an elephant's trunk.

It has also been dated at approximately 65 million years ago, potentially matching the Deccan traps.

The area is covered by the Deccan Traps, a large, 68 million years old, volcanic formation.

In fact, the hotspot volcano that produced the Deccan traps is still releasing iridium today.

The Deccan Traps, the remnants of one of the world's largest volcanic events.

The Chicxulub crater is very nearly opposite the Deccan Traps, on the other side of the planet.

Several impact craters and massive volcanic activity in the Deccan traps have been dated to the approximate time of the extinction event.

The motion of the Indian tectonic plate and the eruptive history of the Deccan traps show strong correlations.

The Deccan Traps eruption coincided roughly with the extinction of the dinosaurs, and there is considerable speculation that the two events were related.

Deccan Traps (India)

The most dramatic terrestrial events were undoubtedly associated with the vulcanism which resulted in the so-called Deccan Traps, huge geological deposits of lava.

These data of terrestrial climates and ocean temperatures may have been caused by Deccan Traps volcanic gassing, leading to dramatic global climate change.

Geologically the Amarkantak Hills have underlying basalt (Deccan Traps).

Other workers postulate that the final extinction was caused by massive volcanic eruptions that formed the Deccan Traps in India.

It is most frequently found in Poona, India and in the Deccan Traps, a large igneous province.

The volcanic hotspot that produced the Deccan traps is hypothesized to lie under the present day island of Réunion in the Indian Ocean.

Parts of the Deccan Traps of India, formed at the end of the Cretaceous also includes dolerite.

It is interpreted as part of the Deccan Traps, which arose from the "tumultuous outpour of lava beyond 106 cubic km in volume.

Lonar Lake lies within the only known extraterrestrial impact crater found within the great Deccan Traps basaltic formation of India.

The entire area is covered by the Deccan Traps lava flows of Upper Cretaceous to Lower Eocene age.

Réunion hotspot, Deccan Traps, India, formed between 60 and 68 million years ago which are thought to have played a role in the K-Pg extinction.

I loved the ride over the amazing Deccan Traps of India, though I think I got a bit lost in Newfoundland.

Trapp (trap) is also used to refer to flood (plateau) basalts, i.e. the Deccan traps and Siberian traps.
