Understanding Cause and Effect

# When you ask why, you want to know the cause  of something.
# Something that happens for a reason is an effect.

Ex. Heavy rain is cause and flood is the effect

You know that in a cause -and-effect relationship, one event or action, 
the cause, results in another event or action, the effect. 
Conditions and feelings, as well as events and actions, can be causes and effects.

When he found himself falling through space, the spaceman became frightened.

In this sentence, the effect, the spaceman’s becoming frightened, was caused by his finding himself falling through space.

You have also probably noticed that a single event, action, condition, or feeling can be both an effect and a cause.
