The Deccan traps formed during the eruption of a volcano that took place around 66 million years ago and resulted in the end of the Cretaceous period.

Much of the landscape here remains buried in volcanic rocks called Deccan Traps, created by volcanic eruptions at the Western Ghats during the Cretaceous period, 66 million years ago. However ...

The Deccan Traps volcanoes continued to emit approximately 10 million tons of carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide every year for 500,000 years. After about 500,000 years of volcanic activity ...

The evidence lies in one of the largest volcanic provinces in the world, known as the Deccan Traps. Located in present-day west-central India, the area had massive outpourings of lava around the ...

The research based their findings on studying the Deccan Traps in western and central India, which were formed from lava spewed out during the volcanic events Toronto: A group of international ...

For decades, scientists believed that unrestrained volcanism from India’s Deccan Traps was the engine behind the Earth’s fifth mass extinction—known as the K-Pg extinction, or the Cretaceous ...

The model revealed that climate change and toxic gases from the Deccan Traps' hundreds of thousands of years of emissions were the nail in the coffin for the extinct creatures. India's 'Deccan ...
