\nThe North-west part of the Indian peninsula, specifically the Deccan Traps region, experienced a major period of vulcanicity at the end of the Cretaceous period.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe Deccan Traps are a large igneous province located on the Deccan Plateau of west-central India. The formation of these traps was a massive volcanic event.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThis period of intense volcanic activity occurred towards the very end of the Cretaceous Period, around 66 million years ago.
