well.... the san Andres line as you may know will separate California for the reason of i think their called "Plate Techonics" (not really sure of the name) you see thes crash causing earthquakes, and causing that line to break appart and separate California from the American continent, because the line is a failure in both México and U.S.A., so what will happen is that California is separating a bit earthquake by earthquake until it becomes an island just floating in the sea.
By the way, I'm 13 and i live in Baja California, so i will be affected by this fenomenon.
All that is false.
They don't crash they slide past each other. It cause the plates in the San Andres Fault are sliding past each other and that causes the earthquakes

Why does San Francisco need earthquake proof buildings?
San Francisco needs earthquake proof buildings because in California theres a large fault line called the San Andreas fault line. It is along this fault line that lots of earthquakes occur.
