Answer 1

The volcanoes (red triangles) in the map are MOST LIKELY caused by subduction.

Subduction occurs when one tectonic plate moves under another and is forced into the mantle, leading to volcanic activity as magma is generated from the melting of the subducted plate. This is a common cause of volcanoes found at convergent plate boundaries.
