Absolutely nothing ...

It doesn't work anymore... nothing happens at those boundaries anymore.

Answer 2

The Bermuda Triangle Mystery

Can you ever imagine that an oil-based industry can some day easily be replaced by a natural-gas-based one?

In an article in the Sunday Times, Norman Miller has stated that the conditions responsible for the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle ( which lies between the West Indies islands and the south-eastern coast of USA could provide the answer to the world’s energy crisis. The energy source is methane gas and there are no alien spaceships or suburbs of Atlantis here. The myth of the Bermuda Triangle, the mysterious disappearances and strange events, has generated much interest all over the world through the years. Charles Berlitz’s book on the subject, published in 1974, sold nearly 20 million copies in 30 languages. Ships, boats, and even aeroplanes are all said to have disappeared in this area and all the mystery has been attributed to extraterrestrials. But scientists now have an explanation for these phenomena and the cause is not extraterrestrial but chemical. It goes by the name of methane gas hydrate, which is methane (created by decomposing organic debris) that has been entombed in an ice crystalline. Conditions are ideal for the formation of this gas in areas of permafrost. Another area is the deep sea floor where the pressure and the temperature are right for the creation of this gas.

It was only in 1981 that a geochemist, Richard McIver, went public on a link between methane gas blowouts and the Bermuda Triangle myth. He stated that massive landslides often occur along the North American continental shelf, which lies to the north of the Bermuda Triangle. Such land slumps can occur over a large area bringing down huge boulders which rupture the layer of gas hydrate beneath the sea floor, freeing the gas that is trapped beneath the hydrate ‘cap’ and also liberating huge amounts of methane trapped within the hydrate itself. The moment a methane gas pocket ruptures a vast reservoir of gas suddenly surges from the seabed, rising up in a huge plume before erupting on the surface within seconds and without warning. A ship caught in such a blowout would be doomed; the water beneath it would suddenly become much less dense, sinking it in a matter of moments. The vessel would plunge into the depths, where it would be covered as sediment disturbed by the blow out settles back on the sea floor. In fact, planes too could fall prey to such a deadly fallout.

The US geological Survey has estimated that just two small areas off the coasts of North and South Carolina, which are a part of the Bermuda Triangle, contain about 70 times the quantity of gas consumed annually in USA. The sea bed and the areas of permafrost are therefore storehouses of a great energy source. It has been estimated that just 1% of gas hydrate is equivalent to half the present conventional gas reserves. But the bad news is that methane is a greenhouse gas and it is vulnerable to blowouts when drillings go wrong. It is only stable under narrow temperature and pressure conditions and would decay due to global warming. We will have to wait and see whether it gives us energy to burn or it burns us up instead!

Answer 3

The region involved, a watery triangle bounded roughly by Florida, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico, measures less than a thousand miles on any one side.”
The Bermuda Triangle is located on the agonic line, where the magnetic north equals the geographic north. The magnetic declination in this area is about 6°. As is the case with all things mysterious, there are many theories regarding the Devil's Sea. One of the most prominent is that there is a large amount of volcanic activity around the area, and an underwater volcano could obliterate a ship without a trace.
Many people have reported seeing portals opening in cloudy skies - strange swirling lights sometimes accompanied by sounds - temporal distortions - electromagnetic distortions called 'electronic fog' that can cause a time storm, and the disappearance of planes and ships. There is something about this fog that is important and gives one the sense of all things paranormal. Something unexplained is definitely happening in that region of the Atlantic.

Answer 4

there's no mystery at all, the sea is volcanic in that region. Every now and then large amounts of air/gas accumulates in the bottom of the sea. When this air is released and a ship is floating right above this giant bubble, it'll sink the ship when the surface is reached. These are rare occurences and the mystery stories told are rather exagerated and even based on sloppy research.

The region is also known for its tropical storms. the amount of airplanes and ships that were reported as missing isn't any greater than in any other part of the world.

Many ships and planes cross the bermuda triangle every week without a single problem.....

The mystery stories are either fabricated or exagerated. The few real incidences are rare and had natural and/or technical causes....

Answer 6

This is how i understand it:

The area that is affected by the Bermuda Triangle has very large methane deposits under the sea bed. these are unstable and periodically release large volumes of the gas into the ocean. this gas then bubbles up in to the atmosphere.

this can explain the disappearance of ships and planes. when the gas bubbles up through the sea bed it will pull ships down. because of the disturbance in the snad and silt at the bottom and the less dense water the ships usuall drop right down ver quickly and are covered by all the distrubed sediment.

when the gas filteres up into the atmosphere it also causes a massive pressure drop, which has the same effect on planes, causing them to drop uncontrollably - eventually hitting the water, sinking and being covered by silt.

the methane is slighy ionic - this electromagnatism causes compasses to mis-read, fitting with first-hand reports of compasses spinning

Answer 7

in the bermuda triangle, the earth's magnetic field is very much felt there with the cases of missing of aircrafts and ships at that place

Answer 8

its d place where v believe to hav great gravity... tatz y v get pulled in. many air craffts hav disapp. coz tat

Answer 9

i hope you'll watch national geographic..it has told everything, so nicely documented. from ancient to scientific research. a very long story to tell..
