The Siberian Traps are thought to have played a significant role in the Permian-Triassic extinction event 252 million years ago.

The Siberian Traps had unusual features that made them even more dangerous.

The Siberian Trap is a chess opening trap.

The surface covered by one eruption can vary from around 200,000 km2 (Karoo) to 1,500,000 km2 (Siberian Traps).

Siberian Traps (Russia) 251 million years ago (end of Permian)

The Siberian Traps are considered to be responsible for the mass extinction event at the end of the Permian.

The Siberian Traps form a large region of volcanic rock, known as a large igneous province, in the Russian region of Siberia.

The giant Norilsk nickel-copper-palladium deposit formed within the magma flows in the main Siberian Traps.

In the program, it is argued that the Permian extinction came in 3 stages; the first was caused by volcanic activity in the great Siberian Traps.

Possibly related to the Siberian Traps (251-250 Ma).
