No. They used to be some of the most active geologic areas. To give an example, that region erupted for 1 million years at full force. If they were to become active, it would be the end of the world as we know it.

What type volcano are the Siberian Traps?
it is an siberia volcano
Which volcano eruption was larger La Garita or the Siberian Traps?
It is still being debated whether the Siberian Traps was even the result of a super volcanic eruption. Even if it was, it would be considered the fourth largest eruption in Earth's history (at least since the Ordovician extinction event). The La Garita is the largest, with 5,000 cubic kilometers of ejecta; followed (rather distantly) by The Toba eruption, with 2,800 cubic kilometers of ejecta; and The Yellowstone eruption (Huckleberry Ridge - Island Park Caldera), with 2,500 cubic kilometers of ejecta. The Siberian Traps has an estimated 2,000 cubic kilometers of "deposit", but source of this deposit is an ongoing debate because it differs from the others, and veers away from what scientists see as tell tale evidence of a super volcanic event. Even so, if it is, it would still rank fourth, so La Garita would be the correct answer. Hope that helps.
What is the decan trap theory?
The Deccan Traps are an area of extensive volcanic activity located in what is now India. This volcanic province was active around the end of the Mesozoic Era (Late Cretaceous Period) approximately 60-70 million years ago. The Deccan Traps were probably one of the largest volcanic complexes to occur on Earth since it's initial formation, spanning nearly half the current area of the country of India at it's peak. The timing of the Deccan Traps should ring bells in the minds of dinosaur enthusiasts: the K/T extinction that wiped out the dinosaurs occurred 65-66 million years ago, right when the Deccan Traps were active. Although it is generally accepted that a large asteroid or comet is largely responsible for this mass extinction, some question as to whether the impact had sufficient aftereffects to cause such widespread damage to the Earth's biosphere. As a consequence, some have proposed that the massive amounts of volcanic and greenhouse gases released during the eruption of the Deccan Traps also played a role in this extinction event. There is also another large volcanic complex known as the Siberian Traps of northern Russia. Unrelated to the Deccan Traps, and much older (~250 million years), the Siberian Traps have been linked to an earlier mass extinction event at the end of the Permian Period.
How active is Kilauea?
its very active
Is galeras volcano still active?
Yes, it is still active today and is one of the most active volcanoes in Colombia
Are Siberian traps still active?
No. They used to be some of the most active geologic areas. To give an example, that region erupted for 1 million years at full force. If they were to become active, it would be the end of the world as we know it.
Are the Deccan Traps in India still active?
Yes
What type volcano are the Siberian Traps?
it is an siberia volcano
What time is the Siberian tiger most active?
mostly day
Who is more active a doberman or husky?
In my opinion the Siberian Husky is more active than the Doberman Pinscher.
Why are plants with active traps found in areas that have poor soil?
Because they do
Do Siberian tigers hibernate?
No, tigers do not hibernate. It is not a biological need of any members of the cat family.

When was The Siberain Traps volcano explosion?
The Siberian Traps erupted about 251 million years ago. The traps comprised a large number of individual eruptions; each eruption of lava may have lasted between 10 and 100 years. The eruptions continued on and off for as much as 1 million years.

Should a Siberian Husky be a first time pet?
No, a Siberian husky shouldn't be a first time pet, only experienced people who has experience with highly active dogs. In this case Siberian huskies are very highly active dogs and need alot of caring, which isn't good for a first pet since they have too many requirements and are very stubborn and can be easily destructive.
Does America still have paratroopers on active duty?
