The uvula in a human mouth makes sure that none of the food one eats gets into the nose. This happens while a person is swallowing the food.

<span>When you swallow, the uvula and the soft palate move close to the nasopharynx, preventing food from entering the nasal cavity. If this process fails, it will result in nasal regurgitation

Hope This Helps :)</span>

Blababa [14]

Answer:

18°c

Midnight temperature in Johannesburg = -5°c

Midnight temperature in Durban = 13°c

Now we want to find how much higher the temperature in Durban is above the temperature in Johannesburg. We do this by finding the difference between the temperature in Durban and the temperature in Johannesburg .

So,

Difference between the temperature in Durban and the temperature in Johannesburg = 13 - (-5) = 18°c
