Why is the idea that California will sink into the ocean consistent with the theory of plate tectonics?
No. California's bedrock is continental crust and will not subduct in oceanic crust, just like a cork will not sink in water. California will continue to be split apart by movement along the San Andreas Fault and given enough time the fault may split into several segments and create islands of what is left of California. Then the islands will erode down to sea level. That process will take some 10 to 50 million years. However there is the possibility of a earthquake which many geooglist have been predicting as well as the melting of ice at the poles which will mean rising sea levels.
