What Does CFB Stand For?
CFB stands for Continental Flood Basalt
CFB, or Continental Flood Basalt, refers to extensive volcanic rock formations created by large-scale basalt lava flows that erupt from fissures in continental regions. These geological features are characterized by their vast areal extent and relatively low relief, typically formed over short geological time periods during intense volcanic activity. CFBs play a significant role in understanding the Earth's geological history, magmatic processes, and contribute to the study of climate change through their potential impact on atmospheric conditions during eruptions.
