The 20 pages that link to Flood basalt, each with the reason it gives.

• BasaltBroader topic: These deposits let geologists study basalt’s effects on landscapes and climate.

• Mantle plumeRelated: Interpreted as the arrival of plume heads at the base of the lithosphere.

• Volcanic arcCompared with: Flood basalts are broad volcanic provinces, unlike the narrow chains of an arc.

• Shield volcanoCompared with: It shares fluid basaltic eruptions with shields but forms regional plateaus, not a central cone.

• Deccan TrapsNarrower topic: The Deccan Traps are one of the largest flood-basalt provinces on Earth.

• Deccan PlateauNarrower topic: The Deccan Traps are among the world’s largest examples of this volcanic landform.

• Columbia River Basalt GroupNarrower topic: The group is one of the clearest continental examples of this eruption style.

• Decompression meltingBroader topic: Large mantle upwellings can generate extensive melts as pressure falls during ascent.

• Karoo SupergroupNarrower topic: This eruptive style explains the extensive, stacked lava flows in the upper succession.

• Large igneous provinceBroader topic: Flood basalts are the characteristic surface expression of many large igneous provinces.

• Central Atlantic Magmatic ProvinceNarrower topic: CAMP is a continental-scale example of this volcanic province type.

• DrakensbergNarrower topic: Extensive basalt flows built the hard cap that now crowns much of the Drakensberg.

• Fissure eruptionNarrower topic: Repeated fissure eruptions can produce the lava sheets that define flood-basalt provinces.

• Kerguelen PlateauRelated: Comparisons with flood basalts help assess the timing and scale of plateau-building eruptions.

• Oceanic plateauRelated: Repeated basalt flows can construct the thick crust underlying an oceanic plateau.

• Central Siberian PlateauNarrower topic: The plateau’s volcanic foundation consists largely of stacked basalt flows.

• Columbia PlateauNarrower topic: The plateau is a major example of terrain built by flood-basalt eruptions.

• Putorana PlateauBroader topic: Successive flows created the plateau’s layered volcanic foundation.

• Extinction eventRelated: Large eruptions can release gases that drive warming, cooling, and ocean stress.

• Triassic–Jurassic extinctionNarrower topic: The extinction is associated with an unusually large episode of flood-basalt volcanism.
