The Wasatch fault is regarded as posing the greatest earthquake threat in Utah, yet this fault has produced no significant historical quakes. In this lecture, Dr. Horns talks about why we think that the Wasatch fault poses such a threat, despite this lack of historical activity, why we cannot say with any certainty when the next large earthquake will occur on the Wasatch fault, and why we really shouldn't even focus on the date of the next earthquake anyway. This talk provides an introduction to Utah's Wasatch fault and the methods geologists use to study prehistoric earthquakes on the fault.
