Coffin (ed., Large Igneous Provinces: Continental, oceanic, and planetary flood volcanism. Large Igneous Provinces: Continental, Oceanic and Planetary Flood Volcanism. Richard Ernst and Ian Campbell, with a focus on LIPs through time, planetary LIPs and the debate on mantle plume vs. non-plume origins for LIPs.

In this up-to-date, fascinating book, leading expert Richard E. Ernst explores all aspects of LIPs, beginning by introducing their definition and essential characteristics.

Large igneous provinces (LIPs) are high volume, short duration pulses of intraplate magmatism consisting mainly of flood basalts and their associated plumbing system, but also may include silicic components and carbonatites. Large igneous provinces. Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) are intraplate magmatic events, involving volumes of mainly mafic magma upwards of 100,000 km3, and often above 1 million km3.

A large igneous province (LIP) is an extremely large accumulation of igneous rocks, including intrusive (sills, dikes) and extrusive (lava flows, tephra deposits), arising when magma travels through the crust towards the surface

A large igneous province (LIP) is an extremely large accumulation of igneous rocks, including intrusive (sills, dikes) and extrusive (lava flows, tephra deposits), arising when magma travels through the crust towards the surface. The formation of LIPs is variously attributed to mantle plumes or to processes associated with divergent plate tectonics.

Large Igneous Provinces are mainly mafic magmatic provinces (having generally subordinate silicic and ultramafic components, whereas some are dominantly silicic) with areal extents . Mkm2, igneous volumes. Mkm3 and maximum lifespans of ~50 Myrs that are emplaced in an intraplate setting and characterised by igneous pulse(s) of short duration (~1-5 Myrs), during. LIPs were initially defined as having areal extents . Mkm2, which is the minimum areal extent for the smallest LIP, the Columbia River flood basalt province that forms a large plateau of ~. 64 Mkm2 (Coffin & Eldholm, 1994; Hooper, 1997).

On Earth, large igneous provinces (LIPs) are defined as voluminous emplacements of predominantly mafic extrusive and intrusive rock whose origins lie in processes other than ‘normal’ seafloor spreading.

On Earth, large igneous provinces (LIPs) are defined as voluminous emplacements of predominantly mafic extrusive and intrusive rock whose origins lie in processes other than ‘normal’ seafloor spreading (Coffin and Eldholm 1992a, b; Head and Coffin 1997). A revised definition for Earth is LIPs are magmatic provinces with areal extents . 106 km2, igneous volumes . 106 km3, and maximum life spans of ~50 Ma that have intraplate tectonic settings or geochemical affinities, and are characterized by igneous pulse(s) of short duration (~1–5 Myr), during which a large
