2.5 pts
minerals and fossil fuels are examples of blank.
renewable resources
ecological footprints
non - renewable resources
ecosystem services
industrial resources

Explanation:

For the first question: Replication is a core part of the scientific method to ensure reliability; conclusions are based on evidence, not speculation; theories are supported, not proven; the scientific method is still the standard framework. It can only disprove or support hypotheses, not definitively prove them true.
For the second question: Non-renewable resources are finite and form over geologic time, which matches the description of minerals and fossil fuels. Renewable resources replenish quickly, ecological footprints measure resource use, ecosystem services are benefits from ecosystems, and industrial resources is not a standard classification for this category.

Answer:

Question 1: cannot prove a hypothesis to be true
Question 2: non-renewable resources
