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 is forced into the mantle, leading to volcanic activity. Uplift can occur as a result of tectonic processes associated with subduction, contributing to the formation of mountain ranges and volcanic arcs.
