Figure 5. This map shows focal mechanism solutions for earthquakes of magnitude 4.0 and greater that occurred around the Sındırgı Fault between August 10, 2025 and April 24, 2026. The base map with focal mechanism solutions is taken from AFAD-DAD (2025c). The inset in the lower left corner shows major tectonic movements in Turkey. Western Türkiye is under the influence of northeast-southwest extension. Information regarding the focal mechanism solutions for the 75 earthquakes shown here is provided in the appendix at the end of the article. Credit: Eyidoğan, 2026, CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
