A flood basalt is not a volcano in and of itself. It is a large rock formation created by an extended period of intense volcanic activity.
flood basalt, lava dome, and shield volcanoes do.
The Columbia Basin was formed by flood basalt volcanism, specifically the Columbia River Basalt Group. This type of volcano is characterized by massive outpourings of basaltic lava over a large area, leading to the formation of extensive lava plateaus. The Columbia River Basalt Group eruptions occurred between 17 and 6 million years ago, shaping the landscape of the region.
