Deccanplatons
The Deccan Traps, also known as the Deccan Plateau, is a large igneous province located in west-central India. It is one of the largest volcanic features on Earth, covering an area of approximately 500,000 square kilometers. The formation of the Deccan Traps is believed to have occurred over a period of about 1 million years, beginning around 66 million years ago. This immense volcanic activity is thought to be linked to a mantle plume, a hotspot in the Earth's mantle that caused widespread volcanic eruptions.
The eruptions resulted in vast outpourings of basaltic lava that flowed across the landscape, forming thick,
The Deccan Traps are of significant scientific interest, particularly due to their temporal association with the
