Correlation is different from what term that refers to the factor that is producing the effect?

• Correct Answer: causation
• differentiation
• manifestation
• correlation

Explanation: But correlation does not necessarily indicate causation. Causation refers to the factor that is producing the effect. If I push a toy car, I will cause it to move. To explain the difference between correlation and causation, let’s look at an example. Sugar consumption in the United States has been rising for decades ( Figure below ). There is a positive correlation between sugar consumption and rising average global temperatures.
