In the spatially dependent diffusion process, it is assumed that the spread is spatially continuous from one or several sources. Contagious expansion diffusion: where the spreading phenomenon has a source and diffuses outwards into new contiguous areas, like wildfire or diffusion of innovation or an infectious disease.
Relocation diffusion: where the spread occurs when the spreading phenomena moves into new areas like migration. It could be interpreted as a movement or a travel in space. This specific spatial process will be considered in more details in the next section.
