Is the state of california really going to fall into the ocean?

Question

I've been hearing this for years

Answer 1

As a Californian, I've heard that too. Fortunately, that's not going to happen, at least not like we see in movies. Over the course of thousands of years, the coastal areas will be washed away with the movement of the ocean and eventually what is California will disappear. It's not something that will happen overnight or in our lifetime.

Answer 2

No,but in a million years or so,Los Angeles will be where San Fransico is,since the San Andreas is a slip fault with the west coast side of it moving northward

Answer 3

It is impossible for it to litterally "fall" into the ocean since it is a part of a continent. However, if the water level of the Pacific Ocean rises, then it could end up becoming submerged by water. This could be made possible by global warming.
