Over 2km/1.2 miles thick and covering 500,OOOsq kml200,OOOsq miles, the Deccan Traps include half a million cubic km/120,000 cubic miles of lava - half a million times as much as erupted at Washington's Mount Sr Helens, USA, in 1980! The Traps' basalts erupted about 65 million years ago in a gigantic outpouring that has been blamed by some palaeontologists for the death of the dinosaurs.
