Abstract
⺠Two sets of strike-slip faults have Y- and X- intersections and form a network. ⺠The strike-slip network consists of conjugate, antithetic and synthetic systems. ⺠Conjugate faulting has two fault sets, little or no rotation of fault blocks. ⺠Domino faulting is characterised by rotation on a dominant fault set. ⺠Domino faulting accommodates higher strains than conjugate faulting.
