Parana-Etendeka Continental Basaltic Province represents one of the major volcanic events on Earth’s history. It's characterized by a fissural volcanism that occurred in the Early Cretaceous before the Gondwana rift and opening of South Atlantic Ocean. About 90% of the volcanism is found in South America, covering 1,200,000 km² over the Parana Basin (Parana Continental Basaltic Province). The other 10% are in Etendeka (Etendeka Continental Basaltic Province), and Angola, Africa ([[:file:Parana-Etendeka_1.jpg|Figure 1]]).
