Such a place that has done it in the past are the hawaiian islands. There's a big crack in one of the islands now, that is apparently doing a slow move towards a massive land slide into the ocean. Some of these slides occur totally underwater. From what I've read, there's been quite a few of these to have occurred thru out history. George Zay
