Siberian Traps

Large region of volcanic rock in Russia

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. Large volumes of basaltic lava covered a large expanse of Siberia in a flood basalt event. The massive eruptive event that formed the traps is one of the largest-known volcanic events in the last 500 million years.
