Relative location: location with respect to other object. Site: absolute location coordinates and expands it to include natural environment characteristics of the areas at/near the location. Situation: relative location plus how it interacts with everywhere else. Culture region: complex that has spatial footprint or areal extent. Expansion diffusion: trait is transferred from individual-individual by direct contact and the carrier remains infected. The population with the trait increases over time. Relocation diffusion: trait moved from one location to another by the carriers. The population with the trait may not increase over time. Contagious diffusion: trait is transmitted by direct contact and distance is usually major barrier. Hierarchical diffusion: trait may leap frog through geographic space in a systematic way.
