This paragraph uses a cause-and-effect pattern of development. which transition is used in this paragraph to develop this pattern? the driest of the zones is that of the grassland plains farthest from the rain forests. a short,

without rainfall, drought has a grave impact on people’s lives. crops fail and herds die,
