Solution
- By nature, a matka or an earthen pot is porous.
- Because clay pots are formed of mud, water put in them evaporates through their tiny pores.
- A cooling effect results from this water evaporation.
- Evaporation uses some of the heat energy produced during the heating process.
- As a result, in the summer, water kept in earthen pots tends to cool down.
