Types of trap rock include basalt, peridotite, diabase, and gabbro.Trapp (trap) is also used to refer to flood (plateau) basalts, i.e. the Deccan Traps and Siberian Traps.The erosion of trap rock created by the stacking of successive lava flows often created a distinct stairstep landscape from which the term trap was derived from the Swedish word trappa, which means stair step.rapp (trap) is also used to refer to flood (plateau) basalts, i.e. the Deccan Traps and Siberian Traps.
