  1. No

    It could drop up to 15 feet but that would not put it below sea level.


  2. NO!

  3. California will not sink. It's impossible, and no real expert is predicting that. However, everything to the west of the San Andreas Fault is moving NW, so it *will* eventually separate apart from the state and create its own island system in the Pacific.

    The only way CA will go under water is if the sea level rises enough to cover it, which has nothing to do with Plate Tectonics. And that also will not happen within a time frame that either you, your children, your grandchildren, or any generation within the next thousands of years need to worry about.


  4. It could use it.  Have you been into the heart of the city lately? Its so dirty.

  5.     I wouldnt live there, 15 is still along way to fall

  6. No.  LA floats on a continental mass.  It won't sink.  It is part of another tectonic plate (west of San Andreas Fault) and will eventually move away from the North American Plate but that will take millions of years.
