	deseretnews.com \| How did the Wasatch Range rise?
		One explanation for the rise of mountain ranges is that motions in Earth's crustal plates, called plate tectonics, squeeze parts of the landscape together, and this pushes up mountains.
		Mountains and valleys formed in the Great Basin because of changes in the Earth's crust, and scientists are curious about whether what happened at the western edge of the Great Basin is similar to geological processes that occurred in Utah's distant past at the basin's eastern border.
		These include the Wasatch Fault and related faults in southern Utah, and a group of faults at the eastern edge of the Sierra, called the Sierra Nevada Fault.

		Objectives of the GPS component of the Wasatch fault, Utah, project are to measure and understand the spatial and temporal variations of the crustal deformation accompaning earthquakes on the 370-km long Wasatch fault and surrounding faults of central and northern Utah.
		In particular, for low stressing rate tectonic regimes such as the Basin and Range, continuous GPS measurements are a preferred mode of operation because of the longer time it takes to have high enough precision.
		Research on earthquake hazards of the Wasatch fault are reported here and is one of the research projects of the University of Utah Seismograph Stations.
