08. Magma intrusion into the sedimentary cover of the Ancient Planet during the transformation of the planet.
I'm asked how it happened that the planet collapsed, but the crust was not damaged?
I answer the question - the bark is damaged. Look at how.
During the destruction of the Ancient Planet, the continental crust underwent deformations. A large number of cracks formed. Through the cracks from the depths magma came out. Has frozen in cracks or has spread on a surface of a sedimentary cover. The surface of all terrestrial continents is flooded with lava.
1. Lava outpourings began to occur before the destruction of the Ancient Planet.
2. The most significant outpouring of lava occurred in the process of destruction of Ancient Planet.
3. Minor outpourings of lava occur in our time.

Volcanic "Nekk" and "Dyke".
"Dyke is an intrusive body of plate-shaped form. Dykes are formed in hypabyssal and subvolcanic conditions when magma is introduced through faults and cracks. As a result of the action of exogenous processes, the sedimentary hosts are destroyed faster than the dikes in them, because of which, in the relief, the latter resemble destroyed walls (name from English "dike", "dyke" - barrier, stone wall). "

Magmatic Traps of the Ancient Planet.
Large outpourings of lava on the surface of the continental slab occurred during the existence of the Ancient Planet. Tidal deformations of the crust led to large-scale outpourings of fresh lava on the granite crust. These effusions under the sedimentary cover.
Before the destruction of the Ancient Planet, there was a long period when the continental crust of the Ancient Planet was subjected to strong tidal deformations. Perhaps, the planet briefly approached the gas giant. Then she retired. And so several times. These outpourings of lava are noticeable on the surface of the Earth above the sedimentary cover - basalt traps.
The last rapprochement with the gas giant became fatal, the planet tore it up with a strong gravitational field. In the process of destruction of the planet, the crust undergoes severe deformation. Magma is extruded into numerous cracks, flooding the vast expanses of the sedimentary cover of biogenic origin. Limestone is on land and ceases to form. The "Cretaceous period" breaks off.
Magmatic trap.
Multiple outpourings of lava, layers. Basalt erosion occurs in the form of steps - traps.

I will dwell on several traps.
Magmatic Trap № 14 "Afro-Arabian". It can be safely asserted that it appeared in the process of destruction of the Ancient Planet and is the same age as the Earth. Hence, this trap is as old as the Earth, that is, from 15 to 4 million years. All traps, except the 15th - older. Hence, all the listed outpourings of lava on the surface of the lithosphere were before the appearance of the Earth or at the time of its appearance.

Magmatic Trap № 10 "Siberian Trap". (Putorana Plateau, Anabar Plateau). Dating in the table - 252 million years. In reality, basalt was poured onto limestone. Hence, this trap is as old as the Earth, that is, from 15 to 4 million years.
Photo-272. Putorana Plateau, basaltic lava over limestone. 410 km × 470 km. The altitude above sea level is up to 1701 m. In the north it sharply breaks by a ledge of 700 meters. Perhaps the outpouring of the lava is stopped by a glacier. Strong erosion of basalt. (wikimapia)

Photo-280. Anabar plateau. The upper layers: Basalt-Limestone-Basalt-Limestone (?). (wikimapia)
The layered structure indicates that this basalt trap was formed before the destruction of the Ancient Planet. A new layer of limestone formed over the basaltic lava. Outflows of basalt occurred in the aquatic environment, at the bottom of the ocean. The second version of the interpretation of the facts is the basalt layers inside the limestone, this dolerite sill (to determine the truth, we need our own research of the object or communication with competent people).

Outflows of basalt occurred over the limestone and through its thickness. So, limestone was already during the outpouring of the Siberian trap. According to geochronology, the Siberian traps flowed 252 million years ago, 125 million years earlier than the Cretaceous period began ???
As a result of the outflow of basalt to the surface of limestone, limestone was partially destroyed, releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Therefore, the outpouring of lava was followed by a period of global warming, a new blocking of carbon dioxide in limestone - the formation of a new layer of limestone.

During the destruction of the Ancient Planet, significant magma intrusions occurred in the sedimentary cover and outpourings of lava on the surface. Outpouring of lava on the Iranian plateau.

On the northern border of this laccolith flows the river Brahmaputra, conditionally dividing the plateau into the Himalayas and Tibet.
Erosion of the sedimentary cover in the Himalayas and Tibet is the highest on the planet. Huge masses of water evaporate from the surface of the warm Indian Ocean and are retained by high mountains. Lakolites of Zagros and Tibet are of the same age. The degree of erosion of Tibet laccoliths is so high that this intrusion can hardly be recognized.

The outpouring of lava is now.
Tidal deformations of the earth's crust, caused by the gravitation of the Moon and the Sun, are the cause of new outbursts of magma on the surface of the sedimentary cover of the Ancient Planet and into its thickness.
Unlike the ancient eruptions and eruptions that occurred over the entire area of the broken continental plates, modern eruptions occur at the joints of the continental plates and in the cracks of the plates.
