Just to make sure, in causal relationships the "cause" is the explanation and therefore, the conclusion. For example, I know in the cause and effect formula the "cause goes first" as in
(cause) chemical spill→(effect) dying dolphins. I understand that the cause must precede the effect but quite literally I mean goes first as in, when written down it is written before the effect.
In the premise and conclusion formula, the cause/ explanation is the conclusion and the effect is (the targeted phenomenon) is the premise. The targeted phenomenon or the effect, can be written in a way that "goes before" the conclusion.
(premise) dying dolphins
--------
(Conclusion) The chemical spill caused the dolphins to die.
I know this may seem like a very silly thing that I want confirmed, but I wanted to make sure that I am not making an error when writing out the casual relationships.
