The Deccan trap is one of the largest volcanic features in the world. It is found in the Deccan plateau in the Indian Peninsular. Its features are as follows:
1) It covers an area of about 500, 000 km^2. It is widely prevalent in the provinces found in the Deccan plateau.
2)It is made up of mostly basaltic lava that flooded these regions and in most areas it is about 2000 m thick.
3)The most prevalent type of soil in this region is black in color due to the presence of titanium salts.
4)The Deccan trap has been subjected to erosion and tectonic movement over the years that have resulted to its staircase like structure and this is why it is referred to as a trap.
5)The soil, majorly clay, is moisture retentive and very productive, however, it is free of humus- this is especially so in the lower lands.
