Earthquakes are the violent shaking of the earth in response to the movement of tectonic plates.

The inability to predict quakes has had devastating affects on areas that are on and around tectonic faults.

Objective Pyramid:

So What’s the Worry?......

The Wasatch Fault Up-Close:

Primary Hazard: Shaking

Secondary Hazard: Liquefaction Shallow Water Table Silty, Loose Soil Little Significant Vegetation Ground Shaking

Secondary Hazard: Landslide Like liquefaction, only add gravity

Secondary Hazard: Tectonic-Induced Flooding

A work in progress…. Move into Earthquake Probability….the new science of “Earthquake Prediction” Map of actual earthquakes in 2002 Structure information on buildings in danger zones Observations and recommendations

Questions?.....
