the sevier belt left behind many distinctive geologic features in the wyoming and utah region, namely recesses and salients. transverse zones can accompany thrust faults connecting the segments of the belt. one such zone is the charleston transverse zone linking the provo salient to the southern arm of the uinta/cottonwood arch. although the uinta/cottonwood arch is a laramide structure the sevier helped the arch form. another important zone is the mount raymond transverse zone connecting the wyoming salient and the northern arm of the arch.
