Open in App
Solution

  1. Thatched roofs contain a large amount of trapped air, and the house is also made up of mud.
  2. Both mud and air are bad conductors of heat so, during summer heat from outside does not flow in, and in winter heat from inside does not flow out.

Hence, Mud houses with thatched roofs remain cool in summer and warm in winter.
