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 melting of the subducted plate and the formation of magma, which can result in volcanic arcs. Uplift is also important as it can contribute to the formation and elevation of these volcanic features.
