Secular resonances, in which two orbits interact through the motions of their ascending nodes, perihelia, or both, operate over timescales of millions of years to change the eccentricity and inclination of asteroids. |

These three groups have more distant perihelia than the Kreutz group and many objects survive perihelion. |

There's no reason for these perihelia to bunch up like that. |
