resulting

Coming as consequence

Resulting describes what comes about as a consequence or outcome of something else.

It connects cause to effect: The storm knocked out power lines, and the resulting blackout lasted three days.

The word almost always appears before the noun it modifies, pointing to what follows from prior events or actions.
