The 28 pages that link to Deccan Traps, each with the reason it gives.

• Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction eventRelated: Its eruptions altered climate and ecosystems around the time of the extinction.

• BasaltBroader topic: Its stacked basalt flows record an immense episode of volcanism.

• CretaceousRelated: Its eruptions released gases that may have stressed ecosystems around the extinction.

• Mantle plumeBroader topic: Attributed to the Réunion plume head; timing overlaps the dinosaur extinction.

• Late CretaceousRelated: Its volcanism overlapped the extinction interval and may have stressed ecosystems.

• Isotope geochemistryBroader topic: Isotope measurements help date its eruptions and characterize magma sources and environmental effects.

• Chicxulub craterRelated: Its eruptions were a competing environmental stressor whose timing overlapped the impact.

• Deccan PlateauBroader topic: These lava flows cover much of the plateau’s northwestern sector.

• Flood basaltBroader topic: Its eruption near the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary makes it a major case in extinction studies.

• Hell Creek FormationCompared with: Their timing offers a competing or complementary environmental cause to assess alongside impact evidence.

• Indian subcontinentBroader topic: Their lava flows record a major phase in the subcontinent’s geological history.

• MosasaurRelated: Its eruptions were one of the major environmental stresses near mosasaurs’ extinction.

• Indian PlateBroader topic: Their formation coincided with India’s rapid movement and passage over the Réunion plume.

• CatastrophismRelated: Their eruptions offer a volcanic explanation considered alongside the Chicxulub impact.

• Impact winterCompared with: Its emissions offer a competing and potentially interacting source of climate stress near the extinction.

• K–Pg boundaryRelated: Its eruptions supplied another source of climate stress around the time of the extinction.

• Himalayan orogenyRelated: Their formation accompanied India's northward journey shortly before collision with Asia.

• Iridium anomalyCompared with: Its volcanism is the leading alternative or contributing cause considered alongside the impact.

• Large igneous provinceBroader topic: Its eruptive history is central to debates about volcanism's role in the end-Cretaceous crisis.

• Luis AlvarezCompared with: Their volcanism offered a competing explanation for environmental stress near the extinction.

• Chicxulub impactorRelated: Researchers continue to assess how volcanism interacted with the impact’s environmental effects.

• Cretaceous–Paleogene boundaryRelated: Its eruptions released gases that may have stressed ecosystems before and after the impact.

• Chicxulub impactCompared with: Its eruptions were a competing or contributing source of environmental stress around the extinction.

• DeccanRelated: Its basalt flows created much of the plateau’s distinctive western terrain.

• Oceanic plateauCompared with: This land-based province illustrates the flood-basalt process without forming an oceanic plateau.

• Alvarez hypothesisCompared with: Its volcanism offers a major alternative or contributing cause of the extinction.

• Lava fieldBroader topic: Its immense stacked flows show how repeated eruptions can build a regional lava field.

• StilbiteRelated: Basalt cavities in this province are renowned for well-formed stilbite specimens.
