No. Earthquakes can cause landslides, but those are basically just scratching the surface. While will happen is that southern California will slowly move northward over the course of millions of years.
What else can I help you with?
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. While earthquakes can cause coastal land to shift or sink, the idea of a significant portion of California falling into the ocean is purely a myth.
Will california sink into the ocean?
No, California will not sink into the ocean. While some parts of California are at risk of flooding due to rising sea levels and potential earthquakes, the entire state sinking into the ocean is not a realistic scenario.
The titanic was sank in the pacific ocean?
No. Titanic was crossing the Atlantic Ocean on her maiden voyage.
A future earthquake in Los Angeles CA?
Yes, there is a future earthquake in California............ In fact its gonna be so horrible that its gonna crack through the middle and its gonna be a big hole in the ground..........therefore the water is going to come from the ocean on up and California will sink! This might take place in 2012 so people in California i advice u to leave asap or before 2012!
Can california sink in a bad earthquake?
the entire state? no, its impossible. however in certain areas of california with water saturated sandy soils (often man made landfill soil) earthquake shaking can cause liquefaction, resulting in the sinking of objects on the surface into the ground.
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.
When is California going to sink in the ocean?
They say 2012 is suppose the year when all that happens but we will have to wait an see !
Did the titanic sank in the pacific ocena?
Titanic did not sink in the Pacific Ocean. Titanic sunk in the North Atlantic Ocean.
Where would continental drift be in the US?
they say that California is going to float off to sea or going to sink into the ocean
If one day California experiences a major earthquake will Los Angeles sink to the bottom of the ocean?
The area known as Los Angeles may one day become submerged, but it won't be any time soon, and it won't be due to a single incident involving one earthquake. The geologic events leading up to a submersion by earthquake would be stretched out over many thousands or millions of years.
Can some of the crust sink under the ocean during an earthquake?
Yes, during a subduction zone earthquake, one tectonic plate can be driven beneath another plate, causing the crust to sink into the mantle. This process can generate powerful earthquakes due to the immense forces involved in the collision of tectonic plates.
Did the Titanic sink to the bottom of the ocean?
Yes, the Titanic did sink after hitting an iceberg.
