Volcano

Volcano is a direct Landform subtype (peer of Mountain, not a child) for volcanic mountains, shield volcanoes, stratovolcanoes, and volcanic vents.

Full example of schema.org/Volcano json-ld markup

The markup is verified as valid with Rich Results Test from Google.

schema.org/Volcano
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Volcano",
  "name": "Mount Fuji",
  "description": "Active stratovolcano and highest mountain in Japan, 3,776 metres above sea level.",
  "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": 35.3606, "longitude": 138.7274, "elevation": "3776 m" },
  "containedInPlace": { "@type": "Country", "name": "Japan" },
  "sameAs": "https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q39231"
}
</script>

Minimal valid version

The smallest markup that still produces a valid Volcano entity. Use it as the floor. Reach for the advanced example above when you want search engines and AI agents to understand more about your content.

schema.org/Volcano (minimal)
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Volcano",
  "name": "Mount Fuji",
  "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": 35.3606, "longitude": 138.7274 }
}
</script>

Google rich results this unlocks

Volcano is a structural type. It does not produce a rich result on its own.

Its value comes from combining it with a primary type whose markup earns a rich result (Article, Product, Event, and so on). Volcano becomes the trunk that the primary type branches off viamainEntityorbreadcrumb. Include it on every page as the backbone of your markup.

Common Volcano mistakes

Mistakes that pass validation but silently fail to earn rich results or mislead consumers walking the graph. Avoid these and your markup will be ahead of most sites in the wild.

  1. 01

    Using Mountain for a volcano

    Wrong
    Mountain for a volcanic peak
    Right
    Volcano for volcanic features (active or dormant); Mountain for non-volcanic peaks

    Volcano is a peer of Mountain in schema.org, not a subtype. Use the specific type for volcanic features.
