Explanation

The Hwang Ho (Yellow River) in China is called the 'Yellow River' because of the massive amounts of yellow silt (loess) it carries, giving it a yellowish-brown color. It is the birthplace of Chinese civilization. The Thames is in England, Kosi in India/Bihar, and Tigris in West Asia (Iraq).
