peer agreement (net): -1uitvloeiingsgesteente Explanation: maybe this will do; at least the connection is correct: flood <> uitvloeiing -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 mins (2005-11-15 13:13:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- looking at the ref. it appears to me that 'basalt' (NL) will always be 'floodbasalt'(EN), i.e. uitvloeiingsgesteent, otherwise it would have been named 'Gabbro', i.e. dieptegesteente; see also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabbro Reference: http://www.hona.be/mineralen.html |

schild basalt Explanation: This type of basalt flow is similar to that found in shield volcanoes, so I would designate it as schild basalt. See information below about flood basalts Flood Basalts Flood basalts are yet another strange type of "volcano." Some parts of the world are covered by thousands of square kilometers of thick basalt lava flows - individual flows may be more than 50 meters thick, and individual flows extend for hundreds of kilometers. The old idea was that these flows went whooshing over the countryside at incredible velocities (e.g., like a flash flood). The new idea is that these flows are emplaced more like flows, namely slow moving with most of the great thickness being accomplished by injecting lava into the interior of an initially thin flow. The most famous US example of a flood basalt province is the Columbia River Basalt province, covering most of SE Washington State and extending all the way to the Pacific and into Oregon. The Deccan Traps of NW India are much larger and the Siberian Traps are even larger than that (but poorly understood). The Ontong Java plateau may be an oceanic example of a flood basalt province. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 46 mins (2005-11-15 13:40:28 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.geolsoc.org.uk/template.cfm?name=fbasalts Flood Basalts The great continental flood-basalt eruptions of the geological past are the largest eruptions of lava on Earth, with known volumes of individual lava flows exceeding 2000 cubic kilometres. For comparison, the ongoing eruption of Kilauea volcano on Hawaii has produced just 1.5 cubic kilometres in 16 years! A series of these huge eruptions builds up a thick stack of basalt lava flows as shown in the photograph ... |
