The phrase "and thus causes" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use this phrase to tie two ideas together, showing that the first idea leads to the second. For example: "The increase in greenhouse gas emissions has caused the planet to heat up, and thus causes frequent extreme weather events."
This action stops the production of chlorophyll and thus causes leaf yellowing.
However, the flowing liquid metal dissolves alloying elements of the structural steels and thus causes their corrosion.
The binding of S100B to p53 disables the biological function of p53 as a tumor suppressor and thus causes cancer.
The oil rotation adds energy to the forward whirl of the rotor system above the critical speed and thus causes the instability.
Irradiation with light at a specific wavelength causes the stiff rod-like molecules to bend which dilutes the orientational order and thus causes deformation.
Unfortunately, turning sugar cane into ethanol uses more energy, and thus causes more greenhouse-gas emission, than making petrol from crude oil.
We also know that warmer air carries more water (about 4% more, so far), and thus causes more potent storms and greater droughts.
Some Australian aborigines engage in subincision, which exposes part of the urethra and thus causes sperm to leak out of the base of the penis.
If that does not happen, the extra tissue is likely to end up as a burden that cannot be accommodated into the brain's architecture, and thus causes disease.
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images and nano indentation results show the addition of aniline lowers the packing density of C S H particles with C/S = 0.7 at meso-scale, and thus causes a substantial fall in the indentation modulus.
In the dynamic simulation, the sinuous excitation force with low frequency excites the large whirl of the unbalanced rotor and thus causes the rubbing between the rotor and the stop.
