Etendeka-Parana Traps, Brazil
From series “Volcanoes and Traps That Changed the Face of the Planet”
Parana-Etendeka province is incredibly amazing to explore. This igneous place is in Brazil. It was formed more than 130 million years ago. The area of this province is more than one and a half million square kilometers, but scientists do not exclude that the lava spread area could be twice as much.
One of the main attractions of the igneous province is Rio Grande Mountain. The exact reason of its appearance is unknown, but scientists do not exclude that there has been the largest volcanic eruption in that place millions of years ago. Geological changes that followed the major eruptions were very impressive too. Researchers suggest that the picturesque island of Tristan da Cunha appeared as a result of this volcanic activity.
