Answer 1

All of these are cause and effect type of scenarios.

The main difference is that.

Butterfly effect – the cause leads to some unknown or unpredictable huge effect that’s hard to link to the original cause.

Snowball effect – the cause leads to some effect that grows and grows in proportion until the effect is so huge and devastating.

Domino effect – the cause leads to some effect, which becomes the cause of some another effect, and so on.
