The origin of the name Black Sea, Dead Sea, and Red Sea.

Dead Sea. The Dead Sea contains a high concentration of salt, which is 8.6 times that of ordinary seawater. As a result, no living things can survive in the water. There are even very few living things on the land along the coast of the Dead Sea. This is why people named it the Dead Sea.

The Black Sea. The "Black Sea" is an inland sea located between southeastern Europe and Asia Minor. The first people to use the name Black Sea were the Greeks, Persians, and Turks living on the southern coast of the Black Sea. They use different colors as symbols for north, south, east, yellow for east, red for south, blue or green for west, and black for north. Because the Black Sea is located in the north of Greece, Persia, and Turkey, people call it the Black Sea, not because the water is black.

The Red Sea. The origin of the name is that the Red Sea is directly translated from Greek, Latin, and Arabic. It has nothing to do with the color of the sea. The Red Sea is not red. Possible sources include: seasonal red algae; nearby red mountains; a local race named Red; the South Side (corresponding to the north of the Black Sea); the sea of ​​the Red Earth (ancient Egypt called the desert the Red Earth), etc.
