Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements regarding Red Sea.
- The Red Sea is an inlet of the Indian Ocean located between Africa and Asia.
- It is one of the most saline bodies of water globally.
- In the south, it is bordered by the Sinai Peninsula, the Gulf of Aqaba, and the Gulf of Suez.
- It is called Red Sea because the water typically appears red in colour.
How many of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: b)
Statements 1 and 2 are correct.
The Red Sea is an inlet of the Indian Ocean located between Africa and Asia. It is one of the most saline bodies of water globally. It connects to the Indian Ocean in the south through the Bab el Mandeb Strait and the Gulf of Aden. In the north, it is bordered by the Sinai Peninsula, the Gulf of Aqaba, and the Gulf of Suez, leading to the Suez Canal. The Red Sea occupies a part of the Great Rift Valley, known as the Afro-Arabian Rift Valley.
The Red Sea is not red in appearance; it typically has blue-green water. One theory suggests that a cyanobacteria called Trichodesmium erythraeum, a red-colored algae, may occasionally turn the water reddish-brown during seasonal algal blooms. Another theory links the name to Asiatic languages that use colours to denote cardinal directions, with “red” possibly representing “south.”
