Geo Journal Week 11 Plate Tectonics

This Wednesday morning in Utah there was a 5.7 earthquake that damaged property and power lines causing blackouts for hundreds of people. This literally hit close to home since my family lives in Heber and my wife and I recently just moved from there to be up here in Washington. This event is greatly affected by plate tectonics due to the wasatch front colliding with other land causing the earthquake to take place in Utah today.
