Wasatch fault system comes into sharper focus through new study
"The Wasatch fault zone is comprised of 10 segments — from Malad, Idaho, to Fayette, Utah. The new study expands the length of surface-rupture faults that are mapped by 64% — from 451 miles to 739 miles, with the biggest gains notched for the Provo, Salt Lake City and Weber segments. Researchers emphasized their findings do not indicate an increase in earthquake risk."
