When "the big one" hits Southern California, Los Angeles is likely to slip into the ocean.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Los Angeles is not likely to slip into the ocean during a major earthquake. The city sits on solid ground, and while earthquakes can cause significant damage, the notion of it falling into the ocean is a myth. Earthquakes can lead to landslides and other changes in the landscape, but they do not cause large chunks of land to break off and fall into the sea.
