Could this be the cause of the magnetic effects in the Bermuda triangle? Even though it takes thousands of years to complete couldthis be one of the starting places?

I think you're talking about the flip flop of the Earth's magnetic poles (south becomes north, and vice versa). Check this:

"The magnetic field is created by the flow of molten iron inside the Earth's core. These circulation patterns are affected by the planet's rotation, so the field normally aligns with the Earth's axis - forming the north and south poles.

But the way minerals are aligned in ancient rock shows that the planet's magnetic dipole occasionally disappears altogether, leaving a much more complicated field with many poles all over the planet. When the dipole comes back into force, the north and south poles can swap places.

The last reversal happened about 780,000 years ago, over a period of several thousand years. Now Gauthier Hulot from the Institute of Earth Sciences in Paris and his colleagues think they have spotted early signs of another reversal. " [See source.]

The Bermuda Triangle is just a myth as far as all those disappearances and strange effects. There is nothing abnormal about that area of the ocean. And it certainly has no special magnetic qualities that are abnormal. The BT is just a favorite locale for science fiction writers...and the key word here is "fiction," not "science."

it fairly is an prolonged technique.... i might desire to possibly thinking up a laundry record of important outcomes.... permit's basically suffice it to declare, at ti's weakest, we are able to stand an exceedingly stable hazard of changing into extinct... without it, we are able to be bombarded via image voltaic radiation (even now polar areas are challenge to radiation bomardment), which will do almost each residing factor on the face of the earth in, particularly rapid.... something 'fortunate sufficient' to stay to tell the story, will in undemanding terms locate they're to go through a extra prolonged death... duplicate will basicly circulate out the window, almost all existence in the international has a lifespan it is in undemanding terms a blink of a watch (once you analyze it to the polar reversal time span) so, with duplicate long previous, and a quick existence span, we are able to basicly basically disappear...
