The 14 pages that link to Columbia River Basalt Group, each with the reason it gives.

• BasaltBroader topic: It is a major continental example of basalt erupting over a broad region.

• Flood basaltBroader topic: Its exceptionally preserved flows reveal how flood-basalt eruptions unfold.

• Large igneous provinceBroader topic: Its well-preserved flows provide a comparatively recent example of continental flood-basalt volcanism.

• Missoula floodsRelated: The floods cut through these basalt layers, exposing the rock structure of the Scablands.

• Yellowstone hotspotRelated: Its timing and location have been linked to proposed early stages of Yellowstone hotspot volcanism.

• Columbia River GorgeBroader topic: These ancient lava flows built much of the rock through which the gorge was later cut.

• Fissure eruptionBroader topic: Its extensive lava sheets are linked to large-scale fissure eruptions.

• Channeled ScablandsNarrower topic: The resistant basalt flows form the bedrock that floods cut into and across.

• Celilo FallsRelated: These layered rocks framed the river channel and the falls' geological setting.

• Glacial Lake MissoulaRelated: Floods carved channels through these basalt rocks across eastern Washington.

• Lava fieldBroader topic: Its stacked basalt flows form one of Earth’s largest continental lava-field provinces.

• Columbia PlateauBroader topic: These flows form the plateau’s underlying volcanic foundation.

• Hells CanyonRelated: Its lava flows form much of the canyon’s exposed rock, cut by the Snake River.

• Multnomah FallsNarrower topic: Layered basalt forms the cliffs over which Multnomah Creek descends.
