Linking & Cohesion
"Because" introduces the cause in a subordinate clause: "She resigned because she was unhappy." "Therefore" / "as a result" / "consequently" introduce the effect in a new sentence or clause: "She was unhappy. Therefore, she resigned." "Due to" / "owing to" are prepositions followed by a noun phrase: "Due to the storm, flights were cancelled." "As" and "since" (= because) are used in more formal contexts.
