What is cause and effect relationships?

Answer 1

A "cause" is something that makes something change.

An "effect" is something that changes.

A "relationship" is a link.

So a cause-effect relationship is a link between an event at some earlier time and something that changes as a result of that earlier event.

When Gavrilo Princip shot and killed Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, a series of events unfolded that led to the First World War. You could say that Princip's action was the cause of the deaths of millions of people and the collapse of 4 empires - and even the Second World war and the deaths of millions more innocent people. Had he been able to foresee the cause-effect relationship one might hope that he would not have carried through his murderous action.

Answer 2

A cause and effect relationship is one thing happening because of another. An example of a cause and effect relationship is the ground being wet after it rains. The cause is the rain and the effect is the ground being wet. The ground is wet because it rained.
