Cause highlights a cause-effect relation between two ideas, or gives a reason why something happens, for example:
Because of wind and water erosion Australia loses millions of tonnes of topsoil each year.
Condition suggests the kinds of circumstances under which something happens or is done, for example:
If something is not done about this situation soon we will not have enough soil left to feed ourselves.
