The active sections that are located along fault lines are called what?
Answer (2)
They are called seismic gaps. Seismic gaps are a segment of an active fault, they are responsible for production of earthquakes.
The active sections located along fault lines are called fault segments, which can be normal, reverse, or strike-slip faults. Seismic gaps are segments of active faults without recent earthquakes, suggesting stress build-up and potential future quakes. Understanding these concepts is essential for assessing earthquake risks.
