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 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 basis for forecasting an earthquake strength?
The basis for forecasting strength is gap hypothesis.
What is the definition of gap hypothesis?
A hypothesis that stated that sections of active faults that have had relatively few earthquakes are likely to be the sites of strong earthquakes in the future.
How do you state that your hypothesis was correct?
just say "my hypothesis was correct because" and then state all the data that supports ur answer
What does state whether your hypothesis was correct or not mean?
