Answer 1

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

1. subduction
2. uplift

Subduction occurs when one tectonic plate moves under another and sinks into the mantle, often leading to the formation of volcanic arcs. Uplift can also be part of the process as the formation of these arcs can cause the surrounding land to rise due to tectonic activity.
