Earth quakes tend to take place where the edges of tectonic plates meet. There is no one specific place where earth quakes happen, but California does have a lot of earthquakes. Earth quakes are caused by two plate sliding over each other, colliding into each other or pulling away from each other.

Will California eventually break off of the US because of earthquakes?
Yes. It will take millions or even billions of years, but most scientists believe it is very likely, very possible, but it will take a lot of time for the earthquakes to make a strong enough impact to break California completely off of the United States and dramatically noticeable that it is its own separate island. It will not be that obvious for a very, very long period of time.
