A large region of unusually voluminous igneous emplacement within a comparatively limited geological interval.
A large volcanic and intrusive province associated in time with the end-Permian crisis. Gas release and interactions with surrounding sediments provide mechanisms for linked warming, ocean chemical change and physiological stress during mass extinction.
A mainly basaltic continental large igneous province in India, emplaced around the end of the Cretaceous. Its surface deposits provide a major example of volcanic loading. Deposited volume, loaded area and density must be distinguished when estimating isostatic adjustment.
