Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Silurians' plan to destroy the Van Allen belt directly leads to the Doctor and Liz realizing the full implications of the Silurians' plan, with Liz explaining that removing the Van Allen belt will make the planet uninhabitable for humans and the Doctor horror at the prospect of the extermination of an entire species."
About Causal Connections
A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot—remove one and the story structure collapses.
