A composite volcano is a type of volcano that can be present anywhere on Earth. If you are looking for the latitude and longitude of a certain composite volcano, please state the name of a specific composite volcano in the question.
Mount Vesuvius is a stratovolcano, also known as a composite volcano, which is a steep-sided, conical volcano built up by many layers of hardened lava, pumice, tephra, and volcanic ash. It is located in Italy near the city of Naples and is famous for its eruption in 79 AD that destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
Two examples of composite volcanoes are Mount St. Helens in the United States, which had a major eruption in 1980, and Mount Fuji in Japan, which is an iconic stratovolcano known for its symmetrical cone shape.
The famous volcano in the Philippines is called Mount Mayon. It is known for its near-perfect cone shape and frequent eruptions.
The tallest, and most imposing, volcano in California is Mt. Shasta, at 14,179 feet. However, the largest volcano by volume is the Medicine Lake Volcano (which is also the biggest volcano by volume in the Cascades). It's a shield volcano, which means it has very gentle slopes; it's not immediately recognizable as a mountain. It rises only 3,900 feet about the surrounding plain (total elevation: 7,795), but it is 22 miles east to west, and 28 to 31 miles north-to-south, for a total estimated volume of at least 140 cubic miles.

Santa Maria is a stratovolcano, also known as a composite volcano. These volcanoes are characterized by their steep-sided cones and explosive eruptions that involve both lava flows and ash. Santa Maria's most famous eruption in 1902 was one of the largest of the 20th century.
