Where Does The Red Sea's Name Come From?

Answer Question

2 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    The Red Sea got its name from a phenomenon caused by a type of algae called Trichodesmium Erythraeum, which is found in the sea. When these algae blooms die off the blue-green color of sea appears to change to reddish-brown color.
    And so that's how it got its name./
