Description for Large Igneous Provinces
Hardcover. Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 100.
Continental flood basalts, volcanic passive margins, and oceanic plateaus represent the largest known volcanic episodes on our planet, yet they are not easily explained by plate tectonics. Editor(s): Mahoney, John J.; Coffin, Millard F. Series: Geophysical Monograph Series. BIC Classification: RB. Dimension: 271 x 221 x 26. Weight in Grams: 1302.
Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 100.
Continental flood basalts, volcanic passive margins, and oceanic plateaus represent the largest known volcanic episodes on our planet, yet they are not easily explained by plate tectonics. Indeed, some are likely to record periods when the outward transfer of material and energy from the Earth's interior operated in a significantly different mode than at present. In recent years, interest in large-scale mafic magmatism has surged as high-precision geochronological, detailed geochemical, and increasingly sophisticated geophysical data have become available for many provinces. However, the sheer ... Read more
