Why are red, yellow and black sea are called so ???

 Ancient mariners named the Red, Yellow and Black seas based on distinctive features.



Red Sea is located between Asia and Africa. 

The Red Sea's name comes from reddish - brown blooms of cyanobacteria.





The Yellow Sea is situated in between China and Korean peninsula. 

The Yellow Sea has derived its name from the yellowish brown tint from Yellow River's silt. 






The Black Sea is bordered by  Turkey,  Bulgaria,  Romania, Ukraine , Russia and Georgia. 


Black Sea 's name originates from its dark, trencherous waters and severe storms.
