Oceanic plateau
An oceanic plateau (also submarine plateau) is an undersea large igneous province, the equivalent of continental flood basalts such as the Deccan Traps in India and the Snake River Plain in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. An oceanic plateau, as its name suggests, rises above the level of the ambient seabed.
