For the past 300 Ma, massive extinctions are associated with major flood basalt eruptions. The geomagnetic Superchrons (Cretaceous Normal Superchron, Kiaman Long Reversed Superchron, Moyero Long Reversed Superchron) precede the major flood basalt eruptions and massive extinctions. It is likely that upswing of mantle plumes is responsible for the generation of continental flood basalt. Eruption of flood basalts results in a catastrophic climate change as well as a massive genus depletion.
