what types of hazards are associated with the volcano?
The real power of the Siberian Traps was the climate altering potential by the emission of ash and gases. The Siberian Traps is recognised as having a large proportion of pyroclastic deposits relative to other flood basalts. This indicates an explosive nature with much ash and gases being pumped into the atmosphere. All of this ash and gas has two main effects that, even though they are opposite to each other, act on differing timescales.
The second major effect is the emission of greenhouse gases such as CO2, methane and also water vapour.
