Abstract
Two sets of conjugate strike slip faults of various sizes and displacements occur in a tightly deformed area in Sistan district, southeast Iran. The smalles angle between the smaller faults of the two sets, measured across the compressional direction, is 40°, but between the larger faults of the two sets the angle is as wide as 145°. This angular spread is explained by Cloos's suggestion that strike slip faults (like any other shear planes) rotate outward from their original position during the deformation.
