The resulting large igneous province is, in area covered, the most extensive on earth.

Basalt is the rock most typical of large igneous provinces.

This is known as large igneous province in geology.

Volcanic rifted margins are found on the boundary of large igneous provinces.

Much of the area includes the Siberian Traps which is a large igneous province.

This has been called the Karoo-Ferrar large igneous province.

Large igneous provinces are associated with a handful of ore deposit types including:

There are a number of well documented examples of large igneous provinces identified by geological research.

Possibly related to the Caribbean large igneous province (main events: 95-88 Ma).

The formation of large igneous provinces by flood basalt events could have:

Proximity to large igneous provinces may also be helpful in identifying magmatic underplating.

Much larger eruptions, known as large igneous provinces, occur only a few times every hundred million years, but may cause global warming and mass extinctions.

It is one of the several large igneous provinces scattered throughout the Canadian landscape, which can be thousands of kilometres in volume and area.

Mackenzie Large Igneous Province forms 1,270 million years ago.

Canada has a rich record of very large volumes of magmatic rock called large igneous provinces.

Diapirism in the mantle is thought to be associated with the development of large igneous provinces and some mantle plumes.

One theory is that the Katian large igneous province had basaltic flooding caused by high continental volcanic activity during this period.

This phenomenon is also the most common explanation for flood basalts and oceanic plateaus (two types of large igneous provinces).

The MILP is much larger than other well-preserved large igneous provinces.

Rifting of Kenorland began 2.45 billion years ago in Ontario with the formation of several large igneous provinces.

It contains the earliest identified eruption of the CRBG large igneous province.

This volcanic activity formed part of a large igneous province that is presently sunken beneath the northern Labrador Sea.

Flood basalts have occurred on continental scales (large igneous provinces) in prehistory, creating great plateaus and mountain ranges.
