When a segment of a major fault line goes quiet, it can mean one of two things: The «seismic gap» may simply be inactive — the result of two tectonic plates placidly gliding past each other — or the segment may be a source of potential earthquakes, quietly building tension over decades until an inevitable seismic release. After tracking seismic shifts, researchers say a major quake may occur off the coast of Istanbul.
