Looking for Earthquake Fault Maps? The new, interactive Utah Geologic Hazards Portal is the gateway to all hazards mapping in Utah. Find the type, location, and relative susceptibility of active faults, landslides, and other geologic hazards where data is available.

2016年1月27日 · The Utah Geological Survey (UGS) has made the Utah Quaternary Fault and Fold Database available through a new interactive web application on the UGS website. This database contains information on faults and fault-related folds considered to be potential earthquake sources.

2022年9月27日 · The various colors and line types indicate different ages of the most recent earthquakes on the fault and how well the location of the fault is constrained. For more details, see Quaternary Faults.Map showing Quaternary faults in the western U.S. and Pacific Ocean.

2017年9月21日 · The new map shows earthquakes within and surrounding Utah from 1850 to 2016, and faults considered to be sources of large earthquakes. The faults shown on the map are considered geologically active, have been sources of large earthquakes (about magnitude 6.5 and greater) during the Quaternary Period (past 2.6 million years), and are the most ...

Detailed fault and special-study-area maps used in ordinances are available at county and city planning departments. A statewide fault map is available from the Utah Geological Survey: Quaternary tectonics of Utah with emphasis on earthquake-hazard characterization, UGS Bulletin 127, by Suzanne Hecker, 1993.

2020年5月8日 · Fault trace mapping is currently available in an interactive map on the UGS website at https://geology.utah.gov/apps/qfaults/index.html. Special study zone delineations and the fault mapping will both be available through a soon-to-be-launched UGS hazards app that is currently in beta testing.

Maps, reports, and other publications from geologic hazard investigations indicating the location and relative severity of specific geologic hazards for local governments, elected officials, prospective purchasers, landowners, and others to make informed decisions.

This Portal is a compilation of data from the Utah Geologic Hazards Database, and contains post-2008 UGS geologic hazard map data and data from other sources for parts of Utah. These data address earthquake, flood, landslide, and problem soil and rock hazards.

The earthquake database described here consists of catalogs (chronological lists of origin time, location, and size), along with explanatory information, for the earthquake epicenters shown on Utah Geological Survey (UGS) Map 277, Utah Earthquakes (1850–2016) and Quaternary Faults (hereafter, “the map”; Bowman and Arabasz [2017], https ...

Salt Lake City, Utah, is situated in a seismically active region with several significant fault zones surrounding it. These faults are classified into different types based on their movement, and understanding their nature is crucial for assessing earthquake hazards in the area.
