Earthquake Fault Zones are regulatory zones around active faults. The zones are defined by turning points connected by straight lines. Most of the turning points are identified by roads, drainages, and other features on the ground.

The seismic waves generated by an earthquake can be recorded and measured on a seismograph. The interpretation of the waves provides seismologists with a way of "seeing" into the inside of the Earth. The waves produced by earthquakes travel through ... Many large faults are caused by the movement associated with earthquakes.

Robert Jacobi, a geologist who hunts for earthquake faults, is not interested in most of these lines, which represent roads, fences, ditches, pipelines or other things built by people. ... Any of these subtle features could represent areas where otherwise hidden earthquake faults allow life-giving water, or less benign...

Northern metropolitan Los Angeles is being squeezed at a rate of five millimeters a year, straining an area between two earthquake faults that serve as geologic bookends north and south of the affected region. Scientists expect that the strain will ultimately be released in earthquakes much like the 1994 Northridge temblor.

A fault is a break in the earth's crust along which movement can take place causing an earthquake. In Utah, movement along faults is mostly vertical; mountain blocks (for example, the Wasatch Range) move up relative to the downward movement of valley blocks (for example, the Salt Lake Valley).
