题主这样问问题我们都不好回答啊！状语太广泛了。名词，副词，形容词，介词短语，非谓语从句等都可以做状语。情况复杂。

就本题而言，此句是用ing在做结果状语，表示前面的情况带来的一种自然而然必然的结果，ing前常用逗号隔开，有时ing上也可以加上thus或者thereby.如

Carbon burns in oxygen or air, thereby forming carbon dioxide.       

European football is played in 80 countries, making_it the most popular sport in theworld.

Her parents died, leaving her an orphan.

这些句子中ing都是用来作结果状语的！
