      The original extent of Hettangian Pangaean rift basalts is estimated from maps of feeder dikes and Mesozoic basins that contain remnants of the basalts. Dikes and basalts across the initial Pangaean rift zone are correlated by radiometric dates near 200 Ma, stratigraphy of associated basin sediments, and chemical characteristics.

      Flood Basalts and Hot Spot Tracks Flood basalts occur roughly every 10 or 20 Myr, both on conti- nents (e.g., Siberian Traps, Columbia River Basalts) and on the ocean floor (e.g., Ontong Java Plateau, Kerguelen Plateau). Vol- umes are in the range of 0.1 - 10 x 106 km 3 for continental flood basalts and 10- 60 x 106 km 3 for oceanic flood basalts.

The Oregon Plateau flood basalts are spatially and morphologically distinct and were

      Flood basalts cover larger areas than craters and their associated thick ejecta blankets, which are thus less likely to be found. Impacts distribute proxies globally at instantaneous time horizons, whereas flood-basalt events are extended in time, and no remote proxies have been recognized. Many global killing mechanisms have been proposed in the

Research covering more than a century has shown that the Columbia River system has had a long and complex history; there has been a gradual evolution of the rivers into their present course since the beginning of the basalt eruptions to the present.
