Can an earthquake actually cause parts of California to fall in the ocean?
No, it is not possible for an earthquake to cause parts of California to fall into the ocean. California is located on the North American Plate, which is not at risk of subduction beneath an adjacent plate.

What name is given to sudden stress changes in the earth that cause ground shaking and occur at fault lines and near volcanic activity?
This is known as an earthquake or as seismic activity.
Can sound cause a earthquake?
No, sound itself cannot cause an earthquake. Earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, usually as a result of tectonic plate movement or volcanic activity. Sound waves are different from seismic waves that cause earthquakes.
Are aftershocks the primary or secondary effects of an earthquake?
The difference between them is that Primary effects happen during the earthquake e.g. Casualties, Damage to parking structures & free ways. But with Secondary effects they happen after an earthquake e.g. Fire, Landslides & Liquefaction
