Cross-sectional studies are good for establishing that A and B are correlated, for example that sedentary behavior and heart disease are related. Longitudinal studies are good for establishing that A precedes B in time. For example, that the participants in the study were sedentary before they developed heart disease. Good longitudinal (prospective) observational studies can even statistically rule out other potential C variables.
