Abstract: Large lgneous Provinces(LIPs)are referred as continuous and voluminous magamatic rock formations consisted of mafic and felsic rocks. Included as mafic LIPS's are continental flood basalts, passive volcanic margin and oceanic plateau basalts, giant dyke swarms and large layered intrusions, Mafic LIPs are generally to have a mantle plume origin and not directly related to convergent plate boundaries. Felsic LIPs are mainly composed of acidic and acidic-intermediate ignimbrite and genetically relater granites. The occurrence of felsic LIPs is considered to be related to underplating of basaltic magma and extension of lithosphere. Further studies on mantle dynamics related with LIPs, the relationship between occurrence of LIPs and continental accretion, breakup, mass extinction as well as metallogenesis are envisaged in the future.
