How do ships travel through Pacific ocean and Atlantic ocean when the sea level are not same?
It has everything to do with the position of earth related to Saturn.
As the earth reaches its crest in its orbital pattern, the Pacific ocean ships are given a steady headwind that allows the sea level to not interfere with ocean travel. Likewise, at the far peak of the orbital pattern, the Atlantic ocean ships are given aforementioned headwind.
It's a hard concept to grasp, but think of it like this:
When you drop a feather and a bowling ball at the same time, they, in theory, will hit the ground at the same time (when in a vacuum). This can be applied to such a scenario because the weight of the Pacific ocean is far inferior to the ships' cargoload, thus making the Atlantic ocean also useable at this time.

Could California fall into the Pacific Ocean during a bad earthquake?
Absolutely not. The San Andreas fault is a strike slip fault oriented north south so the sense of motion is also north south (it would have to trend east west to move California towards the Pacific) and even then it would be the plate motion, not an earthquake that caused the very slow movement over millions of years.
If you live in Los Angeles and you're willing to wait long enough (around 15 million years), then you'll find yourself next to San Francisco. 70 million years after that, Los Angeles will be level with Alaska.
The US Geological Survey have a web page about earthquake myths - including California sliding into the sea. For further information, please see the related link.
