The type of connection made between the ideas in these sentences is cause and effect. The first sentence states that "Large waves cause erosion of shorelines," and the second sentence provides a solution by stating that "Seawalls constructed of concrete can protect shorelines from this erosion."
The type of connection made between the ideas in these sentences is cause and effect.
In the first sentence, it is stated that "Large waves cause erosion of shorelines." This indicates that the occurrence of large waves is the cause that leads to the effect of shoreline erosion.
The second sentence presents a solution by stating that "Seawalls constructed of concrete can protect shorelines from this erosion." This suggests that if seawalls made of concrete are constructed, they can counteract the erosion caused by large waves. Thus, the cause (large waves) is addressed by the solution (seawalls) in order to prevent or mitigate the effect (shoreline erosion).
