a)
exploring and extracting ores
b)
refining ores and creating products from ore materials
c)
marketing and selling products that use ore materials
d)
recycling and disposing of wastes from the steps and the products

Answer:

The marketing and selling products that use ore materials is the step that is not part of the mining-resource cycle                

Explanation:

There are five stages of mining resource cycle are:                

1. Prospecting and

2. Exploring: This includes searching the ores for mining with exploring techniques.                                                                        

3. Developing products from the materials.                                   

4. Extraction: Extracting the products and fine material.            

5. Recycling and disposing wastes from the steps and products. This helps in controlling the industrial wastage and also the mines are used in a completely resourceful manner which does not affect the environment.    

explanation:

for  example, forests have higher evapotranspiration than other ecosystems,  such  as grasslands, because of their deeper roots and greater leaf area. thus forests have a net moistening effect on the atmosphere and become a moisture source for downwind ecosystems.
