Answer 1

The two correct answers that are important in the formation of volcanic arcs at the edge of continental plates are:

1. Subduction
2. Uplift

Subduction involves one tectonic plate being forced under another, leading to the formation of magma that can create volcanic arcs. Uplift is associated with the geological processes that can result from tectonic activities, including the formation of mountain ranges and volcanic activity.
