Talk:Large igneous province

message: How long would it take for a large igneous province to cool?
Obviously the initial temperature, depth, and composition all play key roles.
"Individual lava flows may take tens to hundreds of years, depending on thickness. Keep in mind that perhaps 90% of the magma generated may remain deep within the crust as intrusions, which will keep the crust hot for a long time. Geodoc 05:38, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Should Northern Cordilleran volcanic province be listed on this page?  Nothing there seems to suggest that it is a Large igneous province.  --Burntnickel 16:35, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No, i have removed it. Good call. Geodoc 05:34, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

text: You're right. I've removed it. -- Avenue 13:43, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I also removed all mention of "large igneous province" from Northern Cordilleran Volcanic Province, since no reference I can find would support that claim.  In fact, Wikipedia was the only place I could find such a claim was being made.  --Seattle Skier (talk) 18:14, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Northern Cordilleran volcanic province

message: This page could very much use a map. That is not a good reason to include a map that corresponds poorly to the text in the article, and that also is almost entirely irrelevent to the article.
The deleted map depicts mainly; Shield, Platform, Orogen, Basin, and Extended Crust. None of these entities are even mentioned in the text, not even by a single word, nor are they wiki-linked within the article.
The distribution of LIP's shown on the deleted map would mislead the lay reader into thinking that there are just a half-dozen or so LIP's in the world.
Many of the world's largest LIP's are simply not shown on the deleted map. (Even though they are mentioned or referenced in the article)
Perhaps worse, the deleted map would sorely misinform the reader about the proportion of the earths surface that is covered by LIP's.
It is not a bad map - it is a good map badly used.

thread_title:  Map image of global LIP distribution 

message: This is an important topic & warrants attention from the wikigeology community. There was some very nice work already done on the article; I think the writing style was far smoother than I can contribute and the author knew the current literature.  But the content left me with several questions/observations:  
* A wide “grab bag” of disparate "things" were described as LIPs, but how does one can decide what’s in & what’s out?  
* Where in the world are these LIPs & what does one look like when you see it? 
*  Why are LIPs important?  
* There are different styles of referencing used in the article – although it is a tedious task, we need to stick with a single style…  
So as an amateur I’m doing some work on the article, but it will need a careful read by a trained geologist once I’m finished to assure accuracy. Anyone who wants to critique as I go along is welcome.

message: If and when the map is improved or replaced, it would be good to have the British/Irish part of the North Atlantic Igneous Province included. cheers Geopersona (talk) 07:27, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Additionally, I looked at the map in closer detail and as a map lover/user, it was a bit confusing at first. The reason being it has two kinds of purple to identify the LIPs. The legend only defines one shade of purple (the lighter shade). The second purple is a darker color that is used as a border around the original purple, but for smaller provinces it effectively makes them look like a darker purple entirely. Very confusing. The image needs to be reworked. Leitmotiv (talk) 17:58, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Map again 

message: Per this article, Hawaii is an LIP but is not in the map graphic. This is just my opinion, but the tallest mountain in the world, plus the long string of Hawaiian volcanic seamounts, and the most active volcanic area in the world, probably qualifies it as an LIP. The Deccan Traps are flood basalts that are caused by the onset of a mantle plume at the crust. Hawaii is also a mantle plume. Food for thought. Leitmotiv (talk) 18:14, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: It depends on which definition and classification scheme of LIPs is being used. Some include seamounts e.g. Hawaii, some exclude seamounts. GeoWriter (talk) 21:24, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  Since flood basalts are known to be associated with mantle plumes, it seems like an oversight not to include the Hawaiian seamount as a province. A seamount can be an LIP, they're not mutually exclusive. Leitmotiv (talk) 20:48, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
