Caption
Salt Lake City has built heavily along the Wasatch fault. In the central part ofthis slide the fault shows up as a linear shadow. The location is approximately along Highland Dr. in the area of 3900 South. When this section of the fault moves again, many homes and businesses will be a risk to fault rupture. However, fault rupture occurs in a very limited area compared to the more widespread hazard of intense ground shaking.
