The Deccan Traps is a large geological formation in India, consisting of a vast expanse of volcanic basalt rock that was formed by a series of volcanic eruptions around 66 million years ago. It covers an area of approximately 500,000 square kilometers, primarily in the state of Maharashtra. The formation is significant for its role in the mass extinction event that coincided with the end of the Cretaceous period, as the eruptions released massive amounts of lava and gases into the atmosphere, potentially contributing to climate change. The term "traps" refers to the stepped topography created by the layered volcanic rocks.

How did the deccan traps form?
The Deccan Traps were formed by extensive volcanic activity that occurred around 66 million years ago, during the late Cretaceous period. This region, located in present-day India, was characterized by a series of massive lava flows that spread out over large areas, resulting in the formation of thick basalt layers. The eruption is believed to have been linked to the breakup of the supercontinent Gondwana and may have contributed to the mass extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs. The name "Traps" comes from the Swedish word "trappa," meaning "stair," referring to the step-like hills formed by the layered basalt.

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.
