Answer 1

The two important processes 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 volcanic activity and the formation of volcanic arcs. Uplift can occur as a result of tectonic forces and volcanic activity.
