Trap Rock In Forest Stock Photography

Trap rock, also known as either trapp or trap, is any dark-colored, fine-grained, non-granitic intrusive or extrusive igneous rock. Types of trap rock include basalt, peridotite, diabase, and gabbro.[1] Trapp trap is also used to refer to flood plateau basalts, i.e. the Deccan Traps and Siberian Traps.[2] The erosion of trap rock created by the stacking of successive lava flows often created a distinct stairstep landscape from which the term `trap` was derived from the Swedish word `trappa`, which means `stairway`
