1. The outside part of the earth.
3. A volcanic belt that runs all the way around the edge of the Pacific ocean.
7. Type of margin where two plates move sideways past each other and sometimes cause earthquakes.
9. Instruments used to detect earthquakes.
13. Point on ground above the focus.
14. More economically developed country.

1. Type of margin when two plates move away from each other and magma immediately rises to fill the gap.
2. Type of margin where two continental plates collide and since neither can sink, they rise to form mountains.
4. The point where the earthquake occurs.
5. Huge slabs under the earth
6. Type of margin where a oceanic crust moves under a continental crust but it sinks as it is heavier.
8. Less economically developed country.
10. The region of the earth's interior between the crust and the core.
11. Where plates touch/meet
12. A long, high sea wave caused by an earthquake or other disturbance.
