Let me answer your question.

If something results from an event or activity, it is caused by that event or activity.
For example: His tiredness results from his hard working.

If something results in a particular situation, it causes that situation to happen.

For example:
Environmental pollution is resulting in the forests dying.


Hope that helps.
