1 Ground subsidence leaves this fireplug supported above the sidewalk in downtown Salt Lake City.P1274 Environmental Geology and Geologic Hazards in Utah Photograph Collectionp1274n084
2 Breach of highway embankment on East Bench in Salt Lake City caused extensive damage to residential neighborhood downslope.P1274 Environmental Geology and Geologic Hazards in Utah Photograph Collectionp1274n006
3 Multistory apartment house sitting astride the East Bench Fault of the Wasatch Fault Zone in Salt Lake City.P1274 Environmental Geology and Geologic Hazards in Utah Photograph Collectionp1274n092
4 Damage to a house in Salt Lake City results from an unsatisfactory foundation. Note in particular the dropping of the arch over the doorway.P1274 Environmental Geology and Geologic Hazards in Utah Photograph Collectionp1274n079
5 Landslide along a scarp of the East Bench Fault in Salt Lake City. No earth tremor is known to have triggered this slide, but an earthquake could trigger similar slides, given similar geologic conditions.P1274 Environmental Geology and Geologic Hazards in Utah Photograph Collectionp1274n099
6 Branch of the Wasatch Fault exposed in utility trench excavation in Salt Lake City. Hammer and field book are at the same stratigraphic horizon, indicating a displacement of 2 1/2 feet in late mudflow deposits, just below the ground surface.P1274 Environmental Geology and Geologic Hazards in Utah Photograph Collectionp1274n096
7 Closer view of slide cracks in high fill in Salt Lake City subdivision. Note housing density downslope.P1274 Environmental Geology and Geologic Hazards in Utah Photograph Collectionp1274n061
8 Cloudburst flood caused erosion of the North Bench in Salt Lake City. Eroded channel begins where paved street ends.P1274 Environmental Geology and Geologic Hazards in Utah Photograph Collectionp1274n005
