1) When an event causes another event, both events have a

cause and effect relationship.
E.g. Cause: I woke up late
Effect: I missed the bus.
We could make the clauses into one sentence by using cause
and effect conjunction.
I missed the bus because I woke up late.
The followings are the conjunction to connect two clauses with
a casual relationship.

THE FOLLOWING TEXT .
Erosion of America's farmland by wind and water has been a
problem since settlers first put the prairies and grasslands under
the plow in the nineteenth century. By the 1930s, more than 282
million acres of farmland were damaged by erosion. After 40
years of conservation efforts, soil erosion has accelerated due to
new demands placed on the land by heavy crop production. In
the years ahead, soil erosion and the pollution problems it causes
are likely to replace petroleum scarcity as the nation's most
critical natural resource problem.
