Earthquakes in Utah

Latest earthquakes in Utah, United States: 1 in the last 24 hours, 379 in the last 30 days. Updated Nov 10, 2026 00:18 UTC.

Utah's earthquake hazard is concentrated along the Wasatch Fault, a chain of segments about 350 km long at the base of the Wasatch Range, next to Salt Lake City, Ogden and Provo. The fault is part of the Basin and Range extension, where the crust is stretching and large earthquakes happen rarely, separated by centuries on any one segment. The USGS catalog lists two magnitude 6.6 earthquakes as the largest in the state: one near Marysvale in 1901 and the Hansel Valley earthquake of March 12, 1934. More recently, the magnitude 5.7 Magna earthquake of March 18, 2020 damaged buildings in the Salt Lake Valley and was followed by a long aftershock sequence. Utah also has earthquakes related to mining activity in the central and eastern parts of the state. Geologists have found evidence that the Wasatch Fault has produced magnitude 7 earthquakes in the past, which is why local officials take the hazard seriously. The list below shows the last 30 days.
