It is a scientific theory under investigation (experiments, statistical analysis) this moment which is based on the thought that earthquake in a region is a time repeated phenomenon. Therefore, by drawing maps including many neighboring seismic regions with the date that an earthquake hit each one of them, one could create the sequence of these events. Finally, by following that sequence in a long term basis, one would realise that there will be regions in the map which await an earthquake as they compose part of the mentioned sequence.
In simple words, it is like you want to build a 500 pieces puzzle, only now someone else is telling you where to put each piece (the earthquake). The puzzle is the map thus the more pieces you put, the more you can see on your puzzle (map) what is missing. Therefore the more accurate you become to your prediction of the location of the next piece (earthquake).

Where a major earthquake has happened in the past but not in a while is called a seismic?
Seismic gap.
What are the areas along a fault that few earthquakes have taken place?
Seismic Gap
What area along a fault where few earthquakes have happened recently but where strong earthquakes have happened before?
seismic gap
What are seismic gap?
a segment of an active fault zone that has not experienced a major earthquake over a span when most other segments have. such segments are probable sites for future major earthquakes
What does seismic mean?
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
What is a area where few earthquakes have happened recently but will probably happen in the future?
If the part of the fault has had large earthquakes historically, then this may be a locked section, or seismic gap, where strain is building up for a future big earthquake. If there is no evidence of it having big quakes in the past then it may just not be very active.
Where a major earthquake has happened in the past but not in a while is called a seismic?

Areas along a fault where relativity few earthquakes have occured?
A seismic gap
What are some example sentences using the word seismic gap?
It would be very difficult to resolve the problem as there was a seismic gap between what the employers wanted and what the workers wanted.
Does a seismic gap allow scientists to predict an earthquake?
no.
A place where a major earthquake has happened in the past but not recently is called a seismic?
A place where an earthquake has occurred in the past but not recently is known as a seismic gap.
What are the areas along a fault that few earthquakes have taken place?
Seismic Gap
What is the difference between gap hypothesis and seismic gap?
Gap Hypothesis is a hypothesis that is based on the idea that a major earthquake is more likely to occur along the part of an active fault, where no earthquakes have occurred for a certain period of time. A Seismic gap is an area along a fault where relatively few earthquakes have occurred recently, but where strong earthquakes have occurred in the past.
What is the theory that sections of active faults that have had few earthquakes are likely to be sites of strong earthquakes in the future called?
it is called the gap hypothesis
What do scientists call an area along fault where no earthquake activity has occured for a long time?
a seismic gap
Area along a fault where few earthquakes have happened recently but where strong earthquakes have happened before?
seismic gap
