A 25-year-old BPO employee sustained injuries early Monday morning after a road caved-in at the Sector 47 and 48 T-point and ...

Within the sedimentary succession of the Crato Formation, a relatively thin (~ 0.3 to 2 m) mollusk-bearing mudstone, and interbedded sandy siltstone and claystone with abundant horizontal trace ...

Geological History 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.

These changes matched previously dated pulses of massive volcanism in India’s Deccan Traps, which are about 1.24 miles thick in places. “To our surprise we found two steps in the Osmium isotope ...

The up to two kilometers thick basaltic rocks of the Deccan Traps cover a large part of western India. This large-scale volcanism flooding entire landscapes is referred to as Large Igneous Province by ...

But we had to find a way to test if these changes are caused by large-scale volcanic eruptions related to the Deccan Traps in India,” said Westerhold. Deccan traps and their impact In western India, ...

Earth orbital rhythms links timing of Deccan trap volcanism phases and global climate change. Science Advances, 2025; 11 (10) DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.adr8584 ...

According to the new finding, it seems plausible that at the onset of major Deccan Trap volcanism, independently dated 66.288 Million years by radioisotopic methods, an initial pulse with sulfur ...

Amid talks of the Asteroid 2024 YR4’s slim chances of impacting India, one must be aware of how this subcontinent’s landscape bears scars of ancient cosmic collisions, with three confirmed asteroid ...

Formation: Created by massive volcanic eruptions about 25 million years ago. Significance: The Deccan Traps, formed by these eruptions, cover large parts of central and southern India.

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

After about 500,000 years of volcanic activity, the volcanoes in the Deccan Traps finally began erupting. This eruption was so huge that the southwestern part of India was completely covered in lava.
