The Bermuda Triangle or Devils Triangle is a large triangular area covering the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean where multiple mysterious disappearances have occurred. Over the last century, more than 1,000 ships and planes have disappeared in the Triangle area without a trace. There are many theories as to why this happens, such as large bubbles of methane gas coming from the sea, strong magnetic forces causing the compass to malfunction, and finally the theory that it is not a mystery or conspiracy but that it is rogue waves caused by bad weather. Many scientists and theorists want to know why this happens and what things disappear in the vast area of the Bermuda Triangle. We say no to plagiarism.

Even the planes that passed and flew above it could easily catch fire and be completely destroyed. On the coast of Norway, scientists have found a series of huge craters in the sea floor measuring half a mile wide and 150 feet deep and are believed to form bubbles from spilled deposits of oil and remaining gas buried deep in the floor. The gases reach a critical mass before rising to the surface and erupting. This especially affects ships as the gas rises from the seabed and can easily hit a passing ship causing it to explode. One famous disappearance is the Marine Sulfur Queen, which disappeared off the coast of Florida on February 4, 1963 with 39 crew members on board, she was never seen or found, although some debris from the ship was found and it was proven that the molten sulfur carrying the tank broke in half, many believe this is caused by pockets of methane gas erupting from the ocean floor as this large 524 foot ship couldn't just break in half and disappear with all the 39 crew on board with no survivors or large remains of wreckage. Another theory is that the earth's magnetic forces are causing the compass to malfunction, causing planes and ships to lose direction and become lost. One explanation behind this theory is that the magnetic North Pole is constantly shifting and is located 1,200 miles south of the static geographic North Pole. An astronomer Edmund Halley discovered that the agonic line was moving westward, creating a magnetic declination. Because Bermuda is one of only two places on earth where the compass points to true north (the geographic north pole) rather than magnetic north (moving magnetic north pole), making true north and magnetic north perfectly aligned, which is why the pilots discovered there the compasses malfunctioned and veered off course. Many famous stories of mysterious plane disappearances believed to be the result of faulty compasses are Fight DC-3: The plane disappeared when it was just 50 miles south of Florida and was about to land in Miami. Flight 441 - A Super Constellation naval airliner disappeared in October 1954 and one of the most famous was the Avenger aircraft from Flight-19. This aircraft took off from the US Naval Base Florida for a routine training session on 5 December 1945 at 2.10pm. The crew consisted of Marines and Navy men with more than 300 hours logged,"..
