Count Component Identifier Descriptor
1 Latitude Distance measured north or south from the equator. Distance north is positive, distance south is negative.
1 Longitude Longitude is measured from the Prime Meridian (which is the north/south line that runs through Greenwich, England), values measured east are positive and values measured west are negative.
1 Elevation The elevation of the volcano above global mean sea level. Negative elevation indicates a submarine volcano.
1 Country The country in which the volcano is located.
1 Region The global region in which the volcano is located.
1 Type The type of volcano.
