Answer 2

"The San Andreas fault, the commonly misconceived 'culprit' for such an event, is a transform fault that forms the boundary between the Pacific plate, to the west, and the North American plate, to the east. The trace of this fault starts south of the Imperial Valley, cutting diagonally across the state through the middle of the Transverse Ranges before it heads north where it ends near Cape Mendocino.

The key thing to remember about the San Andreas is that it is a right-lateral strike-slip fault, with the land to the east is moving south relative the land in the west...the motion along the fault is lateral, not apart. As a matter of fact, there is even an element of compression along the boundary that continues to keep the two plates together. The movement along this plate-boundary fault is very slow, about 35mm per year. To put it into perspective, about 14-million years from now, Los Angeles and San Francisco might become suburbs of one another...if both cities still exist.

So, the bottom line is that there is no way for California to fall off into the ocean or for part of it to become an island, like in the miniseries '10.5'."
