The mold only grows if the temperature inside the mound never changes. But it very hot in Zimbabwe. Why doesn't the mound get hotter and hotter during the day? The termites control the temperature.
How do they do it? Termites build their mounds so that air enters under the ground. Why? It is colder underground than on the land's surface of the mound. As the cool air rises,it cools the inside of the mound. If the air temperature inside the mound gets too cool, the termites make holes in the walls. Then hot air from the outside enters the mound. If the air insind gets too hot, the termites close the holes.
