The major earthquake fault in California is the San Andreas Fault. The parts of the state that are west of the fault are moving northward. The parts of the state that are east of the fault are moving southward. The western parts include San Diego, LA, Monterey and Santa Cruz. The fault moves out to sea near Daly City. Those cities on the western coast move toward Alaska at the rate of a few centimeters per year, so we can't wave goodbye anytime soon.
The areas that are in motion include the crust of the earth that goes down for miles; the crust is much thicker than the ocean is deep. This keeps the land portion above water, at least for many millions of years.
