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.
Can you compare the strength and frequency method for predicting earthquakes?
The Strength and Frequency Method only predicts how often an earthquake of a particular magnitude will occur. The Gap Hypothesis only predicts where another earthquake is most likely to occur along a fault line. Neither method will predict where the next earthquake will occur in the world, or predict an earthquake happening in a random spot, or predict both the location and strength of an earthquake.
Areas along a fault where relativity few earthquakes have occured?
A seismic gap
What is the basis for forecasting an earthquake strength?
The basis for forecasting strength is gap hypothesis.
Does a seismic gap allow scientists to predict an earthquake?
no.
Where a major earthquake has happened in the past but not in a while is called a seismic?
Seismic gap.
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 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.
What do scientists call an area along fault where no earthquake activity has occured for a long time?
a seismic gap

What is the area along a fault where there has not been any earthquake activity in a long period of time?
A seismic gap, where future large earthquakes are expected.
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.
Seismic gap?
an area along a fault where there has not been any earthquake actually for a long period of time

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
Areas along a fault where relativity few earthquakes have occured?
A seismic gap
