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 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.
