On June 19, 2026 at 07:40 UTC, a magnitude 2.2 shallow crustal earthquake struck 7 km NNW of Saratoga Springs, Utah, at a depth of 6.0 km and coordinates 40.4143°, -111.9375°. This earthquake was detected by 49 seismic stations with excellent location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 87, placing it among routine seismic activity.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.2 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 33.4 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 21 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.

The epicenter is located in Utah, a region characterized by the Wasatch Fault zone at the eastern margin of the Basin and Range Province, where east-west extension produces normal-fault earthquakes. The nearest mapped fault system is the Wasatch Fault. View all earthquakes in Utah.
