Siberian Traps - Wikipedia The Siberian Traps (Russian: Сибирские траппы, romanized: Sibirskiye trappy) are a large region of volcanic rock, known as a large igneous province, in Siberia, Russia The massive eruptive event that formed the traps is one of the largest known volcanic events in the last 500 million years
Earths Greatest Killer Finally Caught | Live Science The eruptions — now called the Siberian Traps — lasted less than 1 million years but left behind Earth's biggest "large igneous province," a pile of lava and other volcanic rocks about 720,000
Siberian Traps likely culprit for end-Permian extinction MIT researchers have determined that the Siberian Traps, a massive era of volcanic activity on Earth, erupted at the right time, and for the right duration, to have been a likely trigger for the end-Permian mass extinction

Siberian Traps | geologic region, Siberia, Russia | Britannica …Siberian flood basalts (the so-called Siberian Traps), which probably led to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere Clouds of volcanic ash may have worsened the situation by restricting the amount of sunlight available for photosynthesis, thereby inhibiting the process of carbon fixation by plants and lowering the extraction…
Unveiling the Enormity of the Siberian Traps: Exploring the Original . . . The Siberian Traps, one of the most remarkable geological features on Earth, are of immense importance in the field of regional geology and earth sciences These vast volcanic formations, located in present-day Siberia, were formed during the Permian period, approximately 250 million years ago
Siberia’s Mantle Plume History and the Debate Over Future Geological . . . Known as the Siberian Traps, this immense large igneous province is a relic of one of the most catastrophic volcanic episodes in the planet’s history Roughly 252 million years ago, a prolonged and violent eruption event spanned nearly a million years, releasing an extraordinary volume of lava and gases into the atmosphere
The end-Permian mass extinction and the Siberian Traps eruptions The Siberian Traps are the largest exposed continental flood-basalt deposit in the world, even though they’ve been undergoing weathering for about 250 million years of weathering and are partly buried by
