Tendürek Volcano is one of the Quaternary volcanic edifices in Eastern Anatolia. Its volcanic activity has been directly controlled by active regional tectonics since the Late Miocene. In and around Tendürek Volcano, several tectonic units are present, including the Tendürek Fault with a normal fault component and the Balıkgölü Fault Zone with a strike-slip fault component. Both the faults and the volcano are capable of generating local seismicity in the region. In this study, 22 low-magnitude seismic events (ML ≤ 2.6) that occurred around Tendürek Volcano were selected to identify and interpret the source of regional seismicity. Focal mechanism solutions for these events were determined using the FPFIT and PINV algorithms, and Coulomb stress changes were calculated from the focal mechanism solutions at different depths. The results, integrated with focal mechanism solutions and Coulomb stress modeling, indicate that positive stress values are concentrated beneath the volcano at shallow depths and extend westward and northeastward across the study area. Ultimately, these findings provide crucial insights into the structural characteristics of the volcanic environment and its interaction with local tectonics.
