A Causal consequence question requires a long answer. Causal consequence questions are formed according to the following abstract specification: "What are the consequences of an event or state?". An example of Causal consequence question would be: "What happens when this level decreases?" [1][2]


Example (1):

-Explainer: ['So this is C major, yeah?', '(keyboard music)', 'And then this is C minor.', 'So the feelings are different, right?']
-Explainee: ['Yeah, feels like dark and spooky.']
-Explainer: ["[Jacob] Yeah, this one's dark and spooky."]
-Explainee: ['Haunted house.']
-Explainer: [And how does this one make you feel though?]---> Causal consequence question
-Explainee: ['Happy. And joyful.']
-Explainer: ['Yeah, I like that, yeah.']
-Explainee: ['Yeah, yeah.']

Example (2):

-Explainer:	['Yeah.', 'The main thing is that if something falls', "into a black hole, it can never get out, it's--"]
-Explainee:	['What about the earth? What if it rolls into it--] ---> Causal consequence question
-Explainer:	['Oh, if the earth rolls into it?']
-Explainee:	['Yeah.']
-Explainer:	["It would be bad, we wouldn't be able to get out."]
