火山与生物大灭绝

解释大火成岩省（LIPs）——持续数百万年的巨量熔岩喷发——如何引发全球变暖和海洋酸化，进而导致生物大灭绝；将 Siberian Traps 与二叠纪末大灭绝联系起来，将 Deccan Traps 与白垩纪末事件联系起来；探讨早期地球上的深海热液喷口如何可能成为生命的摇篮；理解火山在生命史中既是毁灭者，也是创造者。

Explain how large igneous provinces (LIPs) — massive outpourings of lava over millions of years — caused global warming and ocean acidification that drove mass extinctions; connect the Siberian Traps to the end-Permian extinction and the Deccan Traps to the end-Cretaceous event; explore how hydrothermal vents on the early Earth may have been the cradle of life; understand volcanoes as both destroyers and creators in the history of life
