 Cause and Effect : This specific Pattern of Development is defined as "details why something happens, what causes it, what are the effects and how it is related to something else." by the Illinois Institute of Technology. A  cause  is defined as a person, or thing creating an action or reaction. An  effect  is what would call the "action or reaction" from the cause's definition. So, in simple terms, A cause creates an effect. This particular pattern is strictly black and white with no grey area between, so to speak. The color in between black and white can sometimes be left out when simplicity is needed.

The specific example that mit.edu uses is a quote from E. Chivan in their review named "The Ultimate Preventive Medicine." The quote goes as follows: "Global climate change resulting from the accumulation of greenhouse gases, for example, is likely to have significant health effects, both direct and indirect. An average global temperature rise of 3-4°C, predicted for the year 2100 by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, will greatly increase the number of days in the United States with temperatures over 38°C (100°F), with a resulting sharp rise in heat-related mortality. Deaths would occur primarily from heat strokes, heart attacks, and cerebral strokes. The very young, poor, and elderly, as well as those with chronic cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, are most at risk. During the two-week heat wave of July 1993 in the eastern United States, 84 people died in Philadelphia alone as a result of the higher temperatures."From this specific quote, we can deduce that Global Climate Change is the cause. The effect is a multitude of things: accumulation of greenhouse gases, significant health effects, the increase in average global temperature currently, and also future possibilities of what effects could continue to happen if we don't take care of our output on Earth.
