Talk:Wasatch Fault

"Overdue" for a major earthquake?

I question the validity of the wording in the "Geological history" section. Geologists can state that major earthquakes have occurred in the past and give estimates of the probability of a future event. Those estimates are frequently expressed in terms of statistical frequency. However, statistical frequency does not imply periodic behavior. Reporters will often interpret the statistical frequency in a way that generates the "Big One Overdue" headline. LineChaser (talk) 20:16, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

new research shows faults may be linked

There is some new research about the dangers around Salt Lake City: "Salt Lake City Earthquake Risk May Be Higher Due To Connected Fault Zones, Geologists Find" is the title of this Huffington Post article.

I think this would be a good addition to the article. Benthatsme (talk) 19:46, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
