 Summary Up
Cause and effect relationships

Cause is the reason why something happened. The thing that happened is effect. Cause and
effect connect the events. One cause can have effects.

For example :
Cause : You shake a can of coke
Effect : when you open the coke, it bursts out. Your T-shirt is wet and stained with
coke.
In order, to establish a cause-effect relationship, three criteria must be met :
1. The cause has to occur before the effect
2. Whenever the cause happens, the effect must also occur.
The strength of the cause also determines the strength of the effect.
3. There are no other factors that can explain the relationship between the cause and
effect
