What about desert streams makes it inadvisable to camp in a dry stream channel in a desert region?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: The low landscape position of the usually dry channel looks tempting because it is protected from wind (and some dust). But, desert streams are ephemeral and they are prone to flash floods with the occurrence of thunderstorms. Even when a storm is far away from such a campsite, a flask flood could encompass it.
