        <p class=""><b>Abstract:</b> <br class="">
        </p>
        <p class="">It is well known that mantle convection can be
          explored explicitly in terms of the plate and plume mode. The
          former is associated with the cold upper thermal boundary
          layer, which is the lithosphere, and the latter with the hot
          lower thermal boundary layer, which sources plumes. Convective
          buoyancies associated with these modes are significant,
          capable of driving plate motions. However, they need to be
          contrasted with plate boundary forces. Oblique rifting and the
          influence of magma highlight some of the difficulties in
          understanding these forces. Continental rifts provide an ideal
          setting to study the interactions of the plume mode and
          evolving plate boundary forces as the rifting process
          advances. Numerous<br class="">
          observations of continental breakup since the Cretaceous are
          well documented in the geological archives. They include
          mapping continental dynamic topography, studying plate
          kinematic changes, using thermochronological models and
          petrological observables, and imaging deep structure by
          seismic tomography to constrain the breakup history. These
          observations allow one to track the expressions of past mantle
          flow and further understand the dynamics of continental
          breakup as the interplay of convective and plate boundary
          forces.<br class="">
          <br class="">
          This session aims to provide a holistic view of the causes of
          continental breakup. We welcome contributions from seismic<br
            class="">
          tomography, anisotropy studies, geochemistry, plate
          kinematics, structural geology, and numerical models that
          address questions surrounding mantle-lithosphere interactions.
          Studies using a multidisciplinary approach are particularly
          encouraged.</p>
