The dinosaur extinction, famously caused by a meteor impact in what is now Mexico, was also accompanied by one of these blorps, the Deccan traps in what is now India. The outpourings were already happening by the time the space rock arrived, though they seem to have gotten a lot worse around that time. Scientists are still debating how the two events were connected and how much each one contributed to the extinction. The main extinction seems to have happened right at the moment of impact, so it was definitely the key, but all that lava couldn’t have helped the situation.
