Abstract
Two principles are put forward to explain secondary faulting and transcurrent splay faulting at the intersections of clockwise with anti-clockwise transcurrent faults. The first is based on the convergence and divergence of material respectively in the compressional and tensional sectors, between the intersecting transcurrent faults. The second principle is based on the opposed sense of lateral displacement at the intersection of transcurrent faults. Either or both can be used to explain given examples.
