The most common type of mechanical weathering that occurs in mid-latitude is called frost action/frost shattering/freeze and thaw weathering. this type of weathering occurs in mountainous areas of mid-latitude regions, where the temperature fluctuates around zero degrees. When water from snowmelt or rainfall freezes in cracks in rocks it expands. The continuous expansion and contraction of rocks as water freezes and thaws will eventually cause rocks to break off into angular fragments.

Which of these factors does CITES fail to consider when determining which species to cover?

xz_007 [3.2K]

The factor that CITES fail to consider when determining which species to cover is the Ecosystem sustainability.
A sustainable ecosystem is a biological environment with a series of habitats that is able to thrive and also support itself without outside influence. it is the capacity of the biosphere to meet the needs of the present generation, without hindering future generations from being able to meet their needs.

The anterior pituitary receives hypothalamic input through the portal blood supply. what is the advantage of this type of anatom

kotegsom [21]

The advantage of this type of anatomical relationship is that this enables the pituitary to receive signals before sending hormones to the rest of the body through the blood.

The anterior pituitary, a significant component of the endocrine system, is the glandular anterior lobe that, along with the posterior lobe (also known as the posterior pituitary or neurohypophysis), constitutes the pituitary gland (hypophysis).

Stress, growth, reproduction, and lactation are just a few of the physiological activities that the anterior pituitary controls.

Blood tests that assess hormone levels are frequently used to determine if the anterior pituitary and the organs it controls are functioning properly.

The hypothalamus-hypophyseal portal veins deliver hypothalamic releasing and inhibitory hormones directly to the anterior pituitary gland.

Certain hormones from the hypothalamus bind to receptors on particular anterior pituitary cells, controlling how much of the hormone they generate is released.

Asexual reproduction

attashe74 [19]

That statement is not correct for asexual reproduction.

Asexual reproduction is when an organism produces offspring that inherit the same genes of the producer (it's essentially, a copy of itself).

It´s a type of reproduction practiced by Achaea and bacteria which are single-celled organisms.
