" girl (North America and Europe)"

According to wikipedia, that should be "Nena" or "Nina". Let me guess, you used google translate from Spanish?

I wonder: Why are the oceans red in this picture?

Because during this period of Earth's history, the predominant lifeform were cyanobacteria, which in large amounts turn the water very dark red due to their radically different metabolism. 
Yellowstone and Andros island are good examples.
