Notes In situations when the effect has already been expressed elsewhere, the separate sentence describing the reason can be rounded off by (-기) 때문이-.

One particular application of (-기) 때문이- is in expressions like 'A하는 이유는 B(기) 때문이-'. Such phrases can be translated as 'The reason [of] A [occurring] is because of B'.
