New research suggests a seismic connection ties the Salt Lake portion of the Wasatch Fault with the parallel West Valley fault zone about six miles to the west. The two frame the Salt Lake Valley and a potential, simultaneous rupture could make Salt Lake’s “Big One” a little bigger.
Chris DuRoss and Michael Hylland of the Utah Geological Survey reported these findings at the Seismological Society of America meeting Wednesday in Salt Lake City.
