GPT-5 mini · Answer

- Subduction
- Uplift

Explanation: Volcanic arcs at continental margins form where an oceanic plate subducts beneath a continental plate, producing melting in the mantle wedge and arc volcanism. Uplift from tectonic compression and magmatic intrusion builds the mountain/arc topography. Hotspots and plate divergence produce other volcanic settings, not continental volcanic arcs.
