Answer 1
Nehemiah 9:9-11, Psalm 106:7-10, Psalm 136:13-15, Hebrews 11:29 and many other scriptures name the Red Sea as the place where God used Moses to miraculously lead the Israelites to safety from Egypt. The body of water would have had to be deep enough for the Egyptians to be 'swallowed up' or 'drowned'(Hebrews 11:29 RSV) by 'deep waters' and go "down into the depths like a stone" (Exodus 15:5 KJV).



Answer 2
The term Red Sea is consistent in English translations, but the Biblical term in Hebrew is Yam Suf (ים סוף) which means "Sea of Reeds". While it would certainly be more epic if Moses split the Red Sea as opposed to a small tidal reed-filled lake (of which several are situated in west Sinai), it would seem to accord better with the name of the body of water.
