Bermuda Triangle

Bermuda Triangle, section of the Atlantic Ocean off North America within which over fifty ships and twenty airplanes ar aforementioned to own enigmatically disappeared. The area, whose boundaries don't seem to be universally set, incorporates a mistily triangular form marked by the seacoast of the Florida panhandle (in the United States), Bermuda, and therefore the archipelago.

The USS Cyclops—pictured here in the Hudson River, New York, in 1911—went missing in the area of the Bermuda Triangle in March 1918. There were no survivors, and the wreck has never been found.

Reports of unexplained occurrences within the region date to the mid-19th century. Some ships were discovered utterly abandoned for no apparent reason; others transmitted no distress signals and were ne'er seen or detected from once more. craft are reported then nonexistent, and rescue missions area unit aforementioned to own nonexistent once flying within the space. However, portion has not been found, and a few of the theories advanced to elucidate the continual mysteries are fanciful. though theories of supernatural causes for these disappearances abound, geology and environmental factors area unit presumably accountable. One hypothesis is that pilots didn't account for the agonic line—the place at that there's no ought to make amends for compass variation—as they approached the area, leading to important guidance error and catastrophe. Another fashionable theory is that the missing vessels were hewn by supposed “rogue waves,” that area unit huge waves that may reach heights of up to one hundred feet (30.5 metres) and would in theory be powerful enough to destroy all proof of a ship or aeroplane. The area is found in a neighborhood of the Atlantic Ocean wherever storms from multiple directions will converge, creating rascal waves additional seemingly to occur.

According to the National Oceanic and atmospherical Administration, “There isn't any proof that mysterious disappearances occur with any larger frequency within the Bermuda Triangle than in the other massive, well-traveled space of the ocean,” and boaters and fliers still venture through Triangulum while not event.
