Which location would have the most short-term risk of an earthquake?
An Area along an active fault that has not had recent earthquake activity(:
What do scientists call an area along fault where no earthquake activity has occured for a long time?
a seismic gap
Earthquake zone is likely to be on?
An earthquake zone is likely to be on a fault-line. A fault-line is defined as the area underground where two tectonic plates meet or overlap.
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.

How do scientist know the exact spot where an earthquake begins?
Scientists have been planting seismographs along fault lines for decades. These tell the scientist what area has activity first. With these machines they can pin down activity within 50 feet most of the time.

What area near along fault line?
since the phil. fault line is along the sea hugging the eastern parts, then maybe all the eastern coastlines from luzon to mindanao are along the fault line.
What can you infer about why the probability of an earthquake is so high in the Parkfield area?
You can infer that it is on or near a fault line. You can also infer that a earthquake is very likely to occur there.
