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. \n\nIt's not always red, just when the algae dies off.

Wind driven surface currents (such as the Gulf Stream) head polewards from the equatorial Atlantic Ocean, cooling all the while and eventually sinking at high latitudes (forming North Atlantic Deep Water). This dense water then flows downhill into the deep water basins, only resurfacing in the northeast Pacific Ocean 1200 years later. Extensive mixing therefore takes place between the ocean basins, reducing differences between them and making the Earth's ocean a global system. On their journey, the water masses piggyback both energy (in the form of heat) and matter (solids, dissolved substances and gases) around the globe. As such, the state of the circulation has a large impact on the climate of our planet.  It's also called thermohaline circulation

Although the terms "ocean" and "sea" are often used interchangeably, a sea is generally considered to be smaller than an ocean. One definition of "ocean" is: a great body of interconnecting salt water that covers 71 percent of the Earth's surface. There are four major oceans—Arctic, Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific. However, some sources do not include the Arctic Ocean, calling it a marginal sea. The term "sea" is often assigned to saltwater areas on the margins of oceans, such as the Mediterranean Sea situated beside the Atlantic Ocean.

Probably because it lies under the Scotia Sea, which sits between Tierra Del Fuego and the Antarctic. The sea was named after a shipped that explored there, The Scotia.

The other fellow beat me to it. The Atlantic Ocean is east of the United States. New York down to Florida face the Atlantic Ocean. Since the United States is in North America, that is one continent. The Ocean runs from the North Pole to the South Pole, so that will include South America. Antarctica is down by the south pole. Europe is on the opposite side of North America and Africa is on the opposite side of South America. That makes five continents.\n\n\nIceGirl is wrong. It does touch five continents. If you look at her source, you will see the Atlantic Ocean in the center of the picture. On the left are North and South America (left is west). On the right are Europe and Africa (right is east). All the way at the bottom (bottom is south) is Antarctica. No one lives there except for animals (penguins and such) and some scientists, but it is still a continent.

Alaska - it has the Arctic Ocean to the North,  and the Pacific Ocean to the South.

Its so big like a conitnent but its not a continent. Asia is continent and its part of Asia so we call it sub continent.
