My geology teacher once said "In 200...300 years...California will probably either sink into the Pacific or become a line of barrier island between the coastal regions and the mountains."
At least my parents are in that 20-40%, as is my aunt and grandmother. probably.
Izzy, that comment has been made before, and has me wondering, is there any truth to it?
B/c let's face it, the Sierra's are made by pushing land UP, if you look at the coastline (especially Central CA), you'll see cliffs. Not exactly the geography of a sinking area.
Personally, I think that CA is moving OUT of the water, not into it. And I doubt that timeline too - earthquakes have been here for centuries.
