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
Seismic gap.
Seismic Gap

(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
A seismograph can locate a seismic wave.
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.

A 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.
no.
A place where an earthquake has occurred in the past but not recently is known as a seismic gap.
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.
it is called the gap hypothesis
