(ETH) – Utah continues to reel under seismic activity as over 728 earthquakes have rattled the state in the weeks since a 5.7-magnitude quake rattled residents of Salt Lake City and beyond. Three of these quakes measured a magnitude of at least four and another 30 with a magnitude of at least three, this comes from a report from the University of Utah Seismograph Stations.
According to a report from Daily News, Experts additionally determined there were no foreshocks ahead of the initial earthquake, which shook swaths of Northern Utah awake on March 18th around 7 a.m. The largest of the aftershocks was a 4.7-magnitude quake, that occurred an hour later and a second quake of the same size rocked the region again around 1 p.m.
The epicenter was a site 2.5 miles northeast of the city of Magna. The report went on to state that seismologists believed the Utah earthquake had nothing to do with the 6.5-magnitude tremor that struck Boise earlier this week. It was the first with a magnitude greater than 5 to strike Idaho in more than 50 years. Since the quake on Tuesday, the region has faced more than 30 aftershocks above 2.0 magnitude
