Abstract
In order to determine tectonic evolution (rotational and latitudinal movements) of the North of the Lake Van, oriented paleomagnetic samples were collected from the volcanic rocks whose ages has already been known from radiometric aging methods. Paleomagnetic samples, whose orientations were determined using both magnetic and sun compasses, were collected using a portable motorised core drill. The ages of sampled volcanic rocks are between Miocene to Quaternary times. The origin of the collected paleomagnetic samples from different volcanic series are related to the volcanic centers in this region such as: Aladağ, Tendürek, Etrüsk, Girekol Mountains and Pliocene plateau basalts.
