| 3. | Flood basalt describes the formation in a series of lava basalt flows.
|
| 4. | The layering series dips gently north as do the overlying Coppermine flood basalts.
|
| 5. | Mantle plumes have been suggested as the source for flood basalts.
|
| 6. | Major eruptive pulses of flood basalt lavas are laid down stratigraphically.
|
| 7. | The timing of flood basalts has corresponded with large-scale continental break-up.
|
| 8. | These are important factors on how flood basalts influenced paleoclimate.
|
| 9. | The eruption of continental flood basalts is often associated with continental rifting and breakup.
|
| 10. | Minor pillow lavas also exist in the Ekalulia flood basalts.
