Why Earthquakes Happen Here

Western Utah is part of the Basin and Range, where the Earth's crust is being stretched east to west. The crust breaks along faults as mountain blocks rise and valleys drop. The state also sits in the Intermountain Seismic Belt, a band of frequent earthquakes running more than 800 miles from Arizona to Montana.

This epicenter was about 14 miles from the mapped trace of the Wasatch Fault, which runs about 220 miles along the western base of the Wasatch Range. The University of Utah Seismograph Stations locates about 1,500 earthquakes a year in the Utah region, and about 13 a year reach magnitude 3 or more.

More in our guides to Utah fault lines and the Wasatch Fault.

Could There Be More Earthquakes?

No aftershocks have been located so far. According to the USGS, any earthquake has about a 5% chance of being followed by a larger one nearby within a week. The largest aftershock is usually about one magnitude smaller than the main earthquake.

Aftershocks come about 10 times as often on the first day as on the tenth. No one can predict the time, place and size of an earthquake. If the ground shakes again, drop, cover and hold on until it stops.
