SE 1B: Trace the spatial diffusion of phenomena
such as the Columbian Exchange and describe
the effects on regions of contact

2. * Once Columbus discovered the new world the exchange of
foods, ideas, disease, and people began!
* The exchange made some European nations wealthy, while at
the other end of the spectrum people in the Americas faced
catastrophe.
* While some got rich and others died, the natives in Africa
were turned into slaves.
* The slave trade devastated African societies and 12 million
Africans were lost!

3. How did this affect the new world, Europe, and
Africa??

5. * The exchange created a lasting affect that is
still felt today through diffusion.
* Diffusion is like a drop of ink in a glass of water
until the ink and water blend into a single
mixture.
* Plants, animals, goods and ideas are all
capable of diffusion in new regions or cultures.
