Faulting occurs when there are two tectonic plates that meet at a divergent boundary. This means that they move away from each other. The general reason of why plates move is because of a gently rolling mantle. The rock in the mantle is just liquid to flow like taffy. This extremely slow movement, also slowly moves the tectonic plates. Once again, at divergent plate boundaries the plates move away from each other. Without a sudden movement of the plates (such as an earthquake) this process will only enlarge the fault cm a year.

What is the name geologists use to describe the angle that a fault makes with the horizontal?
Geologists refer to the angle that a fault makes with the horizontal as the "fault dip." This angle is measured from the horizontal plane down to the fault surface. The dip is an important aspect of fault geometry, influencing how stress is distributed in the Earth's crust and affecting earthquake mechanics.
What does a GFCI protect you from?
A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protects you from electric shock by quickly shutting off power to the circuit when it detects a ground fault or abnormal current flow. This can happen when there is a short circuit, a malfunctioning appliance, or contact with water.
