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

What is the name of the earth crust along a fault line?
The section of the Earth's crust along a fault line is referred to as the "fault plane." It is the surface along which the rocks on either side have moved relative to each other. The movement can cause earthquakes and other geological activity.
Why does Haiti have so many earthquakes?
Haiti is situated on a fault line known as the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault zone, making it prone to earthquakes. The movement of the Caribbean and North American tectonic plates along this fault line causes significant seismic activity in the region. Additionally, Haiti's lack of robust building codes and poor infrastructure exacerbate the impact of these earthquakes on the population.
Is there earthquakes season?
No, earthquakes can occur at any time of the year without following a specific seasonal pattern. Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface, which can happen at any time.
Why are some earthquakes small and some major?
Earthquakes vary in size due to differences in the amount of stress that builds up along fault lines and the type of fault movement that occurs. Small earthquakes result from minor slippage of rocks along a fault, while major earthquakes are caused by a sudden release of accumulated stress, resulting in significant movement along the fault line. The magnitude of an earthquake is determined by the amount of energy released during the fault movement.
Why are some places badly affected by earthquakes?
Some places are heavily affected by earthquakes because they sit on or near a fault line. Christchurch, for example, sits near a fault line and is why it has frequent and strong earthquakes but practically everywhere in Australia is nowhere near a fault line so we get very littleearthquakes.
What happens when large sudden rock movements occur along a fault line?
Energy is released and earthquakes happen.
Where are earthquakes most coommon?
Along fault line.
Why don't earthquakes happen in England?
England is not on or near a fault line.
Why earthquakes in Italy?
As it is along a fault line (gap between tectonic plates)
Why do earthquakes happen?
earth quakes happen because of the fault line. Underneath the suface the plate are moving
Can earthquakes happen every where?
no only on or close to the edges of a fault line or tectonic plate
Would you like to live along a fault line?
no, fault lines can cause earthquakes. ---- Maybe... But certainly not in a glass house.
Where do the volcanoes and earthquakes occur?
They Can occur anywere a Fault Line is on Earth They happen when earths crust releases and the Fault Line send out Energy =p
Why do most earthquakes happen?
earth quakes happen because of the fault line. Underneath the suface the plate are moving
How many earthquakes happen in the middle of a plate?
Earthquakes hardly ever happen in the middle of plates because the is no fault-line to move. The most common earthquakes in the middle of plates are because of Volcanoes.
What is the name of the earth crust along a fault line?
The section of the Earth's crust along a fault line is referred to as the "fault plane." It is the surface along which the rocks on either side have moved relative to each other. The movement can cause earthquakes and other geological activity.
What happens to rocks along a fault line?
Rocks along a fault line can break and shift due to tectonic forces, causing movements such as sliding past each other or being compressed together. The friction and pressure along the fault line can lead to earthquakes when the accumulated stress is released suddenly. Over time, the rocks along a fault line can also undergo deformation, such as folding and faulting.
