Article Synopsis
- Large igneous provinces (LIPs) are characterized by rapid magma production and environmental impacts, often leading to continental break-up and mass extinctions.
- The Siberian Traps, a major LIP, coincided with a mass extinction but lacked expected geological signs of uplift or lithospheric stretching associated with plume dynamics.
- New research indicates that recycled oceanic crust in the plume may be responsible for significant gas emissions, potentially triggering mass extinctions without prior uplift, aligning with existing stratigraphic evidence.
