The Deccan Traps are a large igneous province located on the Deccan Plateau of west-central India (between 17°–24°N, 73°–74°E) and one of the largest volcanic features on Earth. They consist of multiple layers of solidified flood basalt that together are more than 2,000 m (6,562 ft) thick and cover an area of 500,000 km2 (193,051 sq mi) and a volume of 512,000 km3 (123,000 cu mi).
The term "trap" has been used in geology since 1785–95 for such rock formations. It is derived from the Swedish word for stairs (trapp, trappa) and refers to the step-like hills forming the landscape of the region.
The Deccan Traps began forming 66.250 million years ago, at the end of the Cretaceous period. The bulk of the volcanic eruption occurred at the Western Ghats (near Mumbai) some 66 million years ago. This series of eruptions may have lasted less than 30,000 years in total.
The original area covered by the lava flows is estimated to have been as large as 1.5 million km², approximately half the size of modern India. The Deccan Traps region was reduced to its current size by erosion and plate tectonics; the present area of directly observable lava flows is around 512,000 km2 (197,684 sq mi).
The release of volcanic gases, particularly sulfur dioxide, during the formation of the traps contributed to contemporary climate change. Data points to an average drop in temperature of 2 °C in this period.
Because of its magnitude, scientists formerly speculated that the gases released during the formation of the Deccan Traps played a role in the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event (also known as the K–Pg extinction), which included the extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs. Sudden cooling due to sulfurous volcanic gases released by the formation of the traps and localised gas concentrations may have contributed significantly to mass extinctions. However, the current consensus among the scientific community is that the extinction was triggered by the Chicxulub impact event in Central America (which would have produced a sunlight-blocking dust cloud that killed much of the plant life and reduced global temperature, called an impact winter).
Recent work by geologist Gerta Keller and others on the timing of the Deccan volcanism suggests the extinction may have been caused by both the volcanism and the impact event.

Catastrophe - 2008 Documentary
This spectacular five-part series, presented by Tony Robinson, investigates the history of natural disasters, from the planet's beginnings to the present, putting a new perspective on our existence and suggesting that we are the product of catastrophe.
99% of all the creatures that have ever lived, no longer exist. They were wiped-out in a series of global catastrophes. Each disaster changed the course of evolution on earth. Without them mankind, nor any of the life we see around us, would be here today. For out of catastrophe comes rebirth. Evolution is a savage, imperfect and violent process. It's survive or perish. The earth's history of catastrophes has both moulded the planet and determined evolution. For each disaster led to another leap forward on the evolutionary trail form single celled bacteria to humankind itself.
Episode 3 - Planet of Fire
250 million years ago, 95% of life was wiped off the face of Earth in the biggest extinction event ever. But what was responsible? Back then, our planet was a very different place. Millions of years before the era of dinosaurs, creatures such as Dicynodonts and Gorgonopsians roamed the land, while the oceans too teemed with life. Then, in the blink of a geological eye, everything changed. Life itself was almost completely wiped out in what is known as the Permian extinction. Travelling to locations such as South Africa, California, and Iceland, the experts discover that the volcanic activity of the Siberian Traps led to the release of deadly gases from beneath the sea and rises in Earth's temperature. This turbocharged global warming brought drought and a breakdown in the food cycle, with even the strongest animals eventually succumbing to the conditions.

They are eruptions so vast, so Earth-shattering, they have changed the history of our planet. Climate collapse. Toxic turmoil. Mass extinction. Worse than a killer asteroid, or nuclear war, they are Earth's most destructive Supervolcanoes.
North America, the time was six hundred and forty thousand years ago, long before humans arrived on the continent. Amid one of nature's great mountain building projects, the Rockies, vast columns of smoke began to rise high into the atmosphere. And soon a smokey haze wrapped the globe.
A thick blanket of ashe spread over the western United States. Geologists have traced this event to a depression in the land known as a caldera, in the heart of Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Today, we venture to Yellowstone to admire its spectacles of steam and boiling mud.
Visitors to Yellowstone may never suspect they are atop one of the world's largest active volcanoes.
The last time it blew, it sent an estimated 1000 cubic kilometers of dirt, rocks, ashe, dust, and soot into the atmosphere. But that's small compared to Earth's largest super volcanoes. Find out what made Toba, Siberian Traps, Deccan Traps and other super eruptions so powerful.

GIFT presentation by Jan Smit (full title: The delicate balance between Chicxulub impact and/or Deccan traps induced mass-extinctions at the K-Pg boundary) at the 2011 General Assembly of the European Geosciences Union. The 2011 Workshop, http://webtv.egu.eu/gift/2011/, covered Evolution and Biodiversity. (Credit: EGU/Cactus)
The EGU Committee on Education has organized Geosciences Information For Teachers (GIFT) Workshops since 2003. These are two-and-a-half-day teacher enhancement workshops held in conjunction with EGU's annual General Assembly. There, selected top-level scientists working in the Earth Sciences offer the invited teachers talks centered on a different theme every year.
The main objective of the GIFT workshops is to spread first-hand scientific information to science teachers of primary and secondary schools, significantly shortening the time between discovery and textbook, and to provide the teachers with material that can be directly transported to the classroom. In addition, the full immersion of science teachers in a truly scientific context (EGU General Assemblies) and the direct contact with world leader geoscientists are expected to stimulate curiosity towards scientific research that the teachers then transmit to their pupils.

Paleontologists have found about sixty million year old, rare fossilised eggs, bones and feces of dinosaurs in Central India. The fossilised eggs and feces are scientifically termed as 'coprolite'. As per estimates, the fossilised feces were discovered in the area that was the habitat of the dinosaurs sixty million years ago.
These eggs belong to the last generation of the dinosaurs, which, battled the adverse geographical changes and were able to survive for a long time. The severe volcanic explosions which occurred around sixty million years back had led to the extinction these dinosaurs in India.

The Deccan Traps are a large igneous province located on the Deccan Plateau of west-central India (between 17°–24°N, 73°–74°E) and one of the largest volcanic features on Earth. They consist of multiple layers of solidified flood basalt that together are more than 2,000 m (6,562 ft) thick and cover an area of 500,000 km2 (193,051 sq mi) and a volume of 512,000 km3 (123,000 cu mi).
The term "trap" has been used in geology since 1785–95 for such rock formations. It is derived from the Swedish word for stairs (trapp, trappa) and refers to the step-like hills forming the landscape of the region.
The Deccan Traps began forming 66.250 million years ago, at the end of the Cretaceous period. The bulk of the volcanic eruption occurred at the Western Ghats (near Mumbai) some 66 million years ago. This series of eruptions may have lasted less than 30,000 years in total.
The original area covered by the lava flows is estimated to have been as large as 1.5 million km², approximately half the size of modern India. The Deccan Traps region was reduced to its current size by erosion and plate tectonics; the present area of directly observable lava flows is around 512,000 km2 (197,684 sq mi).
The release of volcanic gases, particularly sulfur dioxide, during the formation of the traps contributed to contemporary climate change. Data points to an average drop in temperature of 2 °C in this period.
Because of its magnitude, scientists formerly speculated that the gases released during the formation of the Deccan Traps played a role in the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event (also known as the K–Pg extinction), which included the extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs. Sudden cooling due to sulfurous volcanic gases released by the formation of the traps and localised gas concentrations may have contributed significantly to mass extinctions. However, the current consensus among the scientific community is that the extinction was triggered by the Chicxulub impact event in Central America (which would have produced a sunlight-blocking dust cloud that killed much of the plant life and reduced global temperature, called an impact winter).
Recent work by geologist Gerta Keller and others on the timing of the Deccan volcanism suggests the extinction may have been caused by both the volcanism and the impact event.

Catastrophe - 2008 Documentary
This spectacular five-part series, presented by Tony Robinson, investigates the history of natural disasters, from the planet's beginnings to the present, putting a new perspective on our existence and suggesting that we are the product of catastrophe.
99% of all the creatures that have ever lived, no longer exist. They were wiped-out in a series of global catastrophes. Each disaster changed the course of evolution on earth. Without them mankind, nor any of the life we see around us, would be here today. For out of catastrophe comes rebirth. Evolution is a savage, imperfect and violent process. It's survive or perish. The earth's history of catastrophes has both moulded the planet and determined evolution. For each disaster led to another leap forward on the evolutionary trail form single celled bacteria to humankind itself.
Episode 3 - Planet of Fire
250 million years ago, 95% of life was wiped off the face of Earth in the biggest extinction event ever. But what was responsible? Back then, our planet was a very different place. Millions of years before the era of dinosaurs, creatures such as Dicynodonts and Gorgonopsians roamed the land, while the oceans too teemed with life. Then, in the blink of a geological eye, everything changed. Life itself was almost completely wiped out in what is known as the Permian extinction. Travelling to locations such as South Africa, California, and Iceland, the experts discover that the volcanic activity of the Siberian Traps led to the release of deadly gases from beneath the sea and rises in Earth's temperature. This turbocharged global warming brought drought and a breakdown in the food cycle, with even the strongest animals eventually succumbing to the conditions.

They are eruptions so vast, so Earth-shattering, they have changed the history of our planet. Climate collapse. Toxic turmoil. Mass extinction. Worse than a killer asteroid, or nuclear war, they are Earth's most destructive Supervolcanoes.
North America, the time was six hundred and forty thousand years ago, long before humans arrived on the continent. Amid one of nature's great mountain building projects, the Rockies, vast columns of smoke began to rise high into the atmosphere. And soon a smokey haze wrapped the globe.
A thick blanket of ashe spread over the western United States. Geologists have traced this event to a depression in the land known as a caldera, in the heart of Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Today, we venture to Yellowstone to admire its spectacles of steam and boiling mud.
Visitors to Yellowstone may never suspect they are atop one of the world's largest active volcanoes.
The last time it blew, it sent an estimated 1000 cubic kilometers of dirt, rocks, ashe, dust, and soot into the atmosphere. But that's small compared to Earth's largest super volcanoes. Find out what made Toba, Siberian Traps, Deccan Traps and other super eruptions so powerful.

The EGU Committee on Education has organized Geosciences Information For Teachers (GIFT) Workshops since 2003. These are two-and-a-half-day teacher enhancement workshops held in conjunction with EGU's annual General Assembly. There, selected top-level scientists working in the Earth Sciences offer the invited teachers talks centered on a different theme every year.
The main objective of the GIFT workshops is to spread first-hand scientific information to science teachers of primary and secondary schools, significantly shortening the time between discovery and textbook, and to provide the teachers with material that can be directly transported to the classroom. In addition, the full immersion of science teachers in a truly scientific context (EGU General Assemblies) and the direct contact with world leader geoscientists are expected to stimulate curiosity towards scientific research that the teachers then transmit to their pupils.

The Deccan Traps of the Western Ghats!
The Deccan Traps are a large igneous province located on the Deccan Plateau of west-central India (between 17°--24°N, 73°--74°E) and one of the largest volcanic features on Earth. They consist of multiple layers of solidified flood basalt that together are more than 2,000 m (6,562 ft) thick and cover an area of 500,000 km2 (193,051 sq mi) and a volume of 512,000 km3 (123,000 cu mi). The term "trap", used in geology for such rock formations, is derived from the Swedish word for stairs and refers to the step-like hills forming the landscape of the region.

Paleontologists have found about sixty million year old, rare fossilised eggs, bones and feces of dinosaurs in Central India. The fossilised eggs and feces are scientifically termed as 'coprolite'. As per estimates, the fossilised feces were discovered in the area that was the habitat of the dinosaurs sixty million years ago.
These eggs belong to the last generation of the dinosaurs, which, battled the adverse geographical changes and were able to survive for a long time. The severe volcanic explosions which occurred around sixty million years back had led to the extinction these dinosaurs in India.

Mahabaleshwar .About this sound pronunciation (help·info)) is a city and a municipal council in Satara district in the Indian state of Maharashtra. It is a hill station located in the Western Ghats range. With one of the few evergreen forests of India, it served as the summer capital of Bombay province during the British Raj. Needle hole point is located near Kate's Point. One can see a natural rock formation with a hole in between, thus giving the name Needle-hole. The point is also famous for the view of Deccan traps, which look like an elephant's trunk. For more amazing videos subscribe to our channel:http://goo.gl/kOtZNL -
Ellora Caves
The Ellora caves, locally known as 'Verul Leni' is located on the Aurangabad-Chalisgaon road at a distance of 30 km north-northwest of Aurangabad. Ellora is also world famous for the largest single monolithic excavation in the world, the great Kailasa (Cave 16). The visit to these caves is enjoyed maximum during monsoon, when every stream is filled with rainwater, and the entire environ is lush green. The 34 caves are hewn out of the Charanandri hills among the volcanic basaltic formation of Maharasthra, known as 'Deccan Trap'. Buddhist, Hindu and Jain rock-cut temples and viharas and mathas were built between the 5th century and 10th century.

The five Jain caves at Ellora belong to the ninth and tenth centuries. They all belong to the Digambara sect.[12] Jain, caves reveal ,specific, dimensions of Jain philosophy and tradition. They reflect a strict sense of asceticism -- they are not relatively large as compared to others, but they present exceptionally detailed art works. The most remarkable Jain shrines are the Chhota Kailash (cave 30), the Indra Sabha (cave 32) and the Jagannath Sabha (cave 33). Cave 31 is an unfinished four-pillared hall and a shrine.[13] Cave 34 is a small cave, which can be approached through an opening on the left side of Cave 33.[14] Amongst other devotional carvings, a place called samvatsarana can be found in Elora caves. Samvatsarana is of special interest to Jains, as it is a hall where the tirthan... -

First we set off to find another djinn. In the process of getting it, we even save some little kid! The djinn we're after is Breath, and after a little chase we catch the critter.

Mahabaleshwar .About this sound pronunciation (help·info)) is a city and a municipal council in Satara district in the Indian state of Maharashtra. It is a hill station located in the Western Ghats range. With one of the few evergreen forests of India, it served as the summer capital of Bombay province during the British Raj.
Needle hole point is located near Kate's Point. One can see a natural rock formation with a hole in between, thus giving the name Needle-hole. The point is also famous for the view of Deccan traps, which look like an elephant's trunk.

Matheran has 38 points from where one can get a glimpse of nature's beauty. Getting to viewpoints in Matheran is quiet easy due to the presence of sign boards and maps. One of them is the scenic Edward's point, which is located on the western side of Matheran. It is on the road from Lake Charlotte to Louisa Point.
Matheran is a Hill Station and a municipal council in the Raigad district in the Indian state of Maharashtra. It is a hill station in Karjat Tahsil and is also the smallest hill station in India. It is located on the Western Ghats range at an elevation of around 800 m (2,625 feet) above sea level. It is located around 90 km from Mumbai, and 120 km from Pune. Matheran's proximity to many metropolitan cities makes it a popular weekend getaway for urban residents. Matheran, which means "forest on the forehead" (of the mountains) is an eco-sensitive region, declared by the Ministry of Environment and Forest, Government of India. It is Asia's only automobile-free hill station.
Note the prominent Deccan Traps of the Western Ghats, grown over with monsoon grasses.

First we set off to find another djinn. In the process of getting it, we even save some little kid! The djinn we're after is Breath, and after a little chase we catch the critter. After this we head over to the Dehkan Plateau and begin to make our way through it. We also get some very useful equipment along the way.
---
STATUS:
Items found - Jupiter djinni (Breath), Smoke Bomb (drop), Full Metal Vest, Elixir, Mint, Themis' Axe
Levels gained - Jenna (lvl. 7)
GUIDE:
Might I suggest upgrading Jenna to a Travel Robe? She needs at least a little improvment defense-wise. After that go to the Shrine of the Sea God and listen intently to this dilema. Not really. Just use Lash on the rope and wait until the kids are gone. Then you can continue onward for your new djinn friend. Trap it with the cool candle thing and kill it in a battle. Breath should obviously go to Sheba (to help raise her stats). Now then, retreat and head south to the Dehkan Plateau. This place is slightly more complex than I would imagine for one of the first dungeons. It's not that bad, though. Get all the important items here and check out part 7 for the rest of this Dehkan Plateau walkthrough.

wn.com/Golden Sun Tla Walkthrough Part 6 Dehkan Plateau (Pt. 1)
First we set off to find another djinn. In the process of getting it, we even save some little kid! The djinn we're after is Breath, and after a little chase we catch the critter. After this we head over to the Dehkan Plateau and begin to make our way through it. We also get some very useful equipment along the way.
---
STATUS:
Items found - Jupiter djinni (Breath), Smoke Bomb (drop), Full Metal Vest, Elixir, Mint, Themis' Axe
Levels gained - Jenna (lvl. 7)
GUIDE:
Might I suggest upgrading Jenna to a Travel Robe? She needs at least a little improvment defense-wise. After that go to the Shrine of the Sea God and listen intently to this dilema. Not really. Just use Lash on the rope and wait until the kids are gone. Then you can continue onward for your new djinn friend. Trap it with the cool candle thing and kill it in a battle. Breath should obviously go to Sheba (to help raise her stats). Now then, retreat and head south to the Dehkan Plateau. This place is slightly more complex than I would imagine for one of the first dungeons. It's not that bad, though. Get all the important items here and check out part 7 for the rest of this Dehkan Plateau walkthrough.
