What are 3 types of expansion diffusion?

The three types of expansion diffusion are contagious diffusion, hierarchical diffusion, and stimulus diffusion. Contagious diffusion occurs when a trend or idea spreads rapidly through a population, much like a virus. Hierarchical diffusion involves the spread of an idea from a person or place of power to other individuals or regions, often following social or political hierarchies. Stimulus diffusion occurs when a cultural trait or idea is adopted and adapted by another culture, leading to variations of the original concept.

Are Contagious diffusion relocation diffusion expansion diffusion stimulus diffusion hierarchical diffusion similar?

They are all similar in the sense that they all relate to the spread of cultural traits like ideas, clothing, food, and language, but they all differ in respect to how the diffusion comes about. To pull from my notes, relocation diffusion is diffusion that occurs when people from any given culture migrate to a place with a different culture. Contagious diffusion is diffusion that occurs when something spreads to other places around it and affects almost everyone in its reach. Hierarchical diffusion is diffusion that occurs when people from a high class or social status begin a trend that spreads to the lower classes. Stimulus diffusion is diffusion that spreads to other cultures and adapts the diffused traits to better fit with the new culture (it is only the basic idea that spreads). If you need examples, let me know. So, TL;DR: Yes, they are similar, but they have distinct differences.
