A short and succinct overview but lacking in links and some citations. You do not even have a link to the

How do either of these models relate to the break-up of Pangea? How/why are these postulated to have led to the break up? .

You are unclear what "break-up" means geologically throughout your article---but I imagine that you mean "rifted/rifting"? It may be to your advantage to link to an article, or provide an overview in your article, about basic continental rifting, geometries, and how/why it occurs first of all. From there, perhaps proceed to introducing how Pangea was rifted apart.

I think that this article would gain a lot if you provided a map of Pangea and potentially the subcontinents that comprised it.

Where are your citations for the Icelandic Plume? I am unfamiliar with this topic, but is this really a theory or just a well-accepted hypothesis and model? Compared to Plate Tectonics, anyway.

Elaborate on what you mean by the "North Atlantic expanding". While I know that you are talking about rifting and likely ocean spreading, I could also think that it is just the water expanding thermally or rising due to sea-level.

What does the "natural outcome of plate tectonics" mean? This is very vague.

Flow does not create volcanism. Here, heating of adjacent lithospheric material by hotter asthenosphere and/or decompression melting creates volcanism.

Compounded is not the right word you want to use there.

How were these rocks dated?? Citations?? Expand a little on how these ages are meaningful, especially for the particularly model/s it supports.

What is this shallow source that you speak of? What is a "source" here? Don't open this can of worms unless you plan to address it, or link to it.
