Because it's located on one of the 7 plates. The tectonic plates. They consist of divergent and convergent boundaries. The land of California is a convergent boundary and the ocean is divergent. When they push together it forms mountains or volcanoes. When Earthquakes happen it's because they're pulling apart and releasing tension. Hope that helps because I'm only 15 and I just learned this in science! Good luck!
