Fault Lines usually form when too much presseris put onto it. They form on
Earths surface The shift in tectonic plates causes the faults to form.
Faults are formed at the outer solid layers of the Earth. They are developed within the earths crust or Lithosphere.

Most earthquakes occur near faults because the interaction of tectonic plates (moving against or away from each other) causes a buildup of stress, which is eventually released in the form of an earthquake. Earthquakes don't necessarily occur along faults though. Volcanic activity and isostatic imbalance (local imbalance from rapid geologic change - for example, ice melting) are two other causes of earthquakes.
Faults can form in the Earth's lithosphere layer. This layer includes the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle, where tectonic plates move against each other, leading to the formation of faults due to stress and strain.
When deformation causes the lithosphere to break, faults can form. Faults are fractures in the Earth's crust along which movement has occurred, resulting in the displacement of rock layers. These fractures can range in size from small fissures to large fault lines and are associated with earthquakes and other tectonic activity.
When shearing causes areas between plates that are sliding past one another to form faults.
vein minerals form between faults.
Tectonic plates
That causes earthquakes
convergent plates produce thrust faults divergent plates form normal faults transform plates form strike/slip faults
the answer is that compression is the kind of stress.

Faults are formed at the outer solid layers of the Earth. They are developed within the earths crust or Lithosphere.
Faults can form virtually instantaneously.
Faults form in the lithosphere. This is composed of the crust and the solid rocky portion of the upper mantle. Both these parts of the crust are brittle. This means that they lose cohesion when they fail forming fractures or faults.
