So is California really breaking off of the continent? Well statistics say that there is a chance for it to really break off because of the tides under the ground that is slowly chipping away from the warm sea tides. But then again I may be wrong depending on the information on which you believe. I just heard from my mother about the news. And then I read a site leading to my question. And it had said that California will not be breaking off. Here's a link.

I can see why you would think that it would. My question is of where your mother got that information. As far as I remember, there has been a doomsday mistake about that. One year, it was even on the news that California was doomed to fall forever. As it turns out, there is no actual range where it can breakaway. Yes, the shores are being crumpled in a bit, but name one place where it isn't. As much as I have read and researched [[i was really interested in it for a while]], I haven't found any proof of a falling California.
They've been talking about California going to pieces for as long as I can remember. Nobody really knows, and we shouldn't worry about things like that that we have no control over.
Well of course I'm worried, some of my relatives are over there. Especially my grandmother. And then there's the fact that I have other relatives in Florida too. But still I should be concern about the sake of my grandmother. Sorry to go off at you. :( I'm just concerned.
They've been talking about this since like the 60's. You're chances are probably better of getting struck by lightning than getting caught in a giant earthquake that breaks off California.
Well what about global warming? it has been in the centuries since many ice ages, but why did the data level of Co2 suddenly went sky rocket? And why is it getting hotter and hotter every summer, and getting colder and colder in every winter?
I trully don't believe California will be breaking off the continent. But I also don't believe in evolution. I think this is just something some scientists are trying to prove to get people to talking, and it worked. But who knows I may be wrong, and if I am, it would be pretty sad to loose California.
I'm not a very scientifically adept person, but simply from reading what's been said both here and in the link that was provided, as well as examining the map, it seems to me that if and when California separates from the continental U.S., it probably won't break away completely - it seems more likely that a very large, lake-like body of water may form, or that California would not detach completely, but rather become an oddly shaped peninsula of sorts. Regardless, though it may be possible for something like this to occur, I would think that it would take many, many years....more years than our lifetimes would cover. But then, anything could happen.
Well, I'm not to sure myself about it too, but then anything can happen. Like Hurrican Katrina, how we never thought that it would destroy Florida.
Umm, Hurricane Katrina destroyed New Orleans, not Florida. And the engineers knew that a good sized hurricane could breech the levies, but somewhere along the line, people didn't care to fix it. And they warned people to get out of the city before it happened, also.
I truly don't intend to be disrespectful cotton de fur, but while it is true that Louisiana was hardest hit by Hurricane Katrina, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida were affected as well. That aside, you mentioned that people were warned days in advance to leave "the city", which by that I assume you mean New Orleans. Please keep in mind that many people in that area of the country are less fortunate than the rest of us, and perhaps did not have the means to evacuate. Living on the Gulf coast, they had probably weathered many tropical storms before Katrina, and had no choice other than to see it through.
If they'd have been through other tropical storms they probably knew how bad Katrina could get. Anyway the point I was trying to make was that it is easier to prepare for a hurricane than a giant earthquake that breaks off an entire part of the continent. You can't get on the weather channel and see a forecast for an earthquake! But every region has bad storms, we have tornadoes here.
