From time to time, people have "predicted" that California will break off from the United States and fall into the ocean due to earthquake activity. These visions - while spectacular in their imagery - have no basis in fact.

The San Andreas Fault System, which traverses California from the Salton Sea in the south to Cape Mendocino in the north, forms the boundary between the Pacific Plate and North American Plate. Tectonic forces in this part of the world are driving the Pacific Plate in a north-northwesterly direction with respect to the North American plate at approximately 46 millimeters per year in the San Francisco Bay Area.

The motion between the plates is almost all in the horizontal plane. This causes strike-slip earthquakes on a number of faults in the San Andreas system. The sense of motion on these faults is such that objects on the opposite side of the fault will appear to move to the right during an earthquake, which is known as right-lateral faulting. (In left-lateral faulting, objects on the opposite side will move to the left with respect to the observer.)

Since most of the motion between the Pacific and North American plates is horizontal, California is not going to fall into the ocean. It is true, however, that Los Angeles is gradually creeping northward and someday will be a suburb of San Francisco!

not nice.. not nice...

yeah fvck LA. Southern Californians can bite by hippy balls. Stay away from my city bitches!

What exactly do you mean?

California isn't going to physically be seperated from the North American continent anytime soon.

Are you just speaking about "the big one"?
