Volcanism and Evolution of the African Lithosphere 1-1-001-323-4330-323 ISBN: 0813724139Editors: Luigi Beccaluva, Gianluca Bianchini, and Marjorie Wilson The distribution of volcanism in the African plate is the surface expression of a variety of processes, many of which are poorly understood, involving interaction between the lithosphere and the underlying convective mantle. Despite the maturity of the plate tectonic paradigm, our knowledge of the processes involved in the breakup of continents and the formation of new ocean basins
