I actually lived in Cali so maybe this will help. My mother and grandfather said it’s because it’s basically “floating” on the water and the water will (kindove) move the island/bridges. It might also be because California has earthquakes all the time near there so it is more destructive. It could also be that the buildings are so cramped(believe me,their reaaaaally cramped) that it could cause a chain reaction as all the buildings are basically connected
Well <span>Asthenosphere is not a solid layer like lithosphere.It is flexible therefore there can not be any force accumulated to generate earthquakes.</span>
