Definition
随着 (suízhe) is a preposition meaning 'along with, as' — it introduces a changing situation that causes another change. Unlike 下面 (below/next) or 以后 (after), which mark position or time order, 随着 focuses on a parallel development: 'as X happens, Y happens'. 连同 (liántóng) means 'together with' in a physical or inclusive sense, not a causal one.
