The correct answer is option 1, Deccan Trap. Basaltic lava refers to a type of lava that is low in silica content and rich in magnesium and iron. It is characterized by its dark, dense, and fine-grained texture. One major geographical area where basaltic lava is found is the Deccan Trap in India. The Deccan Trap is a large volcanic province located in the western and central parts of India, primarily covering the Deccan Plateau. It is comprised predominantly of basaltic lava flows that were formed around 66 million years ago during the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction event. These lava flows are known for their extensive coverage and have had a significant impact on the geological history and landscape of the region.
