What is a Large Igneous Province?

Large igneous provinces (abbreviated as LIPs) refer to continuous, large-scale magma constructions composed of magnesite volcanic rocks and associated intrusive rocks, including large-scale effluent overflow basalt and large radial magmatic donor Rock wall group. They are largely related to deep mantle plume activity and are the direct products of mantle plume magma activity.

Abbreviation
LIPs
LIPs have been the research focus of the international geoscience community in recent years.
The meaning of LIPs is
The latest research results divide the igneous provinces into two categories: magnesite-iron igneous provinces (MLIPs) and felsic igneous provinces (SLIPs).
Future research directions include the relationship between the formation of the Great Igneous Province and the mantle dynamics and its relationship with continental proliferation, continental cleavage, and biological extinction. It also includes studies on igneous provinces and mineralization.
