it causes vs it cause

Both "it causes" and "it cause" are not directly comparable as they serve different grammatical purposes. "It causes" is the correct form when using the third person singular form of the verb 'cause' in the present tense. On the other hand, 'cause' without the 's' is typically used in other contexts, such as in the imperative form or with different subjects.
