'Which' vs 'ing participle'
I have found some examples which are as follows
1. Moments later a bomb exploded, leaving three people dead and twelve others injured.
2. When I entered they all looked at me, making me feel uncomfortable.
Now my question are as follows
A. If I use 'which' as a subject and replace ing form of the verb with the simple past tense like below, then the two forms will carry the same meaning?
1. Moments later a bomb exploded, which left three people dead and twelve others injured.
2. When I entered they all looked at me, which made me feel uncomfortable.
B. If these two forms (which/ing) are interchangeable and carry the same meaning in the past tense, So are the two forms possible in the present tense and could you provide me with an example?
C. If the two forms above are interchangeable and carry the same meaning.
So can I convert the examples below into the ing forms? Is it possible for any intransitive and auxiliary verbs?
'Krishna helped us clear up, which was very good of him' to 'Krishna helped us clear up, being very good of him'
