Which of the following processes describes how missionary activities change the geographies of universalizing religions outside of their founding hearths?

answer choices

Assimilation

Expansion diffusion

Hierarchical diffusion

Relocation diffusion

Answer: Expansion diffusion

Explanation: Expansion diffusion is a way culture and beliefs spread from the founding place to other locations. People who come in contact with missionaries and who take a liking to their teachings adopt their religions and this continues between the new converts and other people until the religion is universal.

In contrast Relocation diffusion is a result of immigration or movement of people. Hierarchical diffusion occurs when people in high position have a belief and others adopt it because they aspire to be like them.
