	Deccan Traps
		The Deccan CFB was associated with the breakup of the Seychelles microcontinent from India (e.g., Mahoney, 1988).
		The Deccan flood basalt sequence is best developed in the Western Ghats region with ~3 km of stratigraphic thickness (Figures 1-3), and picritic basalts are found there, but these are enriched in cumulus olivine and clinopyroxene and do not represent liquid compositions.
		Deccan volcanism was associated with the separation of the Seychelles microcontinent from India (Figure 2, inset), and this breakup itself is often ascribed to the Réunion plume head impact.

		The poor growing conditions on the Deccan plateau in Southern India require the implementation of careful and complex farming strategies in order for farmers to produce enough food to sustain their families throughout the year.
		In the Deccan Plateau, genetic diversity is manifest in food crops like sorghum, millets, pigeonpea, chickpea, groundnut, but also in sugarcane and mango.
		Even though this complex cropping pattern is losing ground in the Deccan Plateau (to the benefit of cash crops like sugarcane, cotton, soyabean and sunflower), it still forms the basis of a balanced sorghum-based diet.
