Deccan Volcanic Province

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Tectonics of the Indian Subcontinent

Part of the book series: Society of Earth Scientists Series ((SESS))

Abstract

The earliest description of the Deccan Volcanic Province (DVP) characterized by the step-like profile of the hill-slopes may be traced to Sykes (1833; cf., Pascoe in Manual of the geology of India and Burma. Geological Survey of India, Kolkata, pp 483–1343, 1956) who coined the name derived from (Sanskrit word) “Dakshin” meaning south and (Swedish word) “Trappa” meaning stairway).
