The Siberian Traps, a large igneous province in Russia, were formed during the Late Permian to Early Triassic periods, approximately 250 million years ago. This volcanic activity is linked to one of the Earth's largest mass extinctions, the Permian-Triassic extinction event. The eruptions released vast amounts of lava and gases, significantly impacting the climate and ecosystems of the time.

What type volcano are the Siberian Traps?
The Siberian Traps are a large igneous province composed of flood basalts, not a single volcano. They were formed by massive volcanic eruptions around 250 million years ago in what is now Siberia, Russia, during the Permian period. The eruptions are thought to have been triggered by the upwelling of a mantle plume.
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.
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.
Are the 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.
How do scientists think the activity of the Siberian Traps changed the chemistry of the oceans?
Scientists believe that the activity of the Siberian Traps, a large volcanic province, released massive amounts of greenhouse gases and sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere, leading to global warming and acidification of the oceans. This likely caused significant disturbances in ocean chemistry, such as increased levels of carbon dioxide and ocean acidification, which could have had major impacts on marine ecosystems and biodiversity.
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.
