Answer 2

The Bermuda Triangle is an area of the Atlantic Ocean roughly bounded by Bermuda, the Greater Antilles, and the southeastern couast of the United States. Also known as the Devil's Triangle it has been made infamous for the many people, aircraft, and surface vessels noted to have disappeared within its bounds. Many of these disappearances involve a level of mystery which are often popularly explained by a variety of theories beyond human error or acts of nature, often involving the paranormal, a suspension of the laws of physics, or activity by extraterrestrial beings. An abundance of documentation for most incidents suggests that the Bermuda Triangle is a mere legend built upon half-truths and tall tales from individuals who sailed the area, then later embellished on by professional writers.

Answer 3

The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a geographical area in the Atlantic Ocean which has been made infamous for the many people, aircraft, and surface vessels noted to have disappeared within its bounds. Many of these disappearances involve a level of mystery which are often popularly explained by a variety of theories beyond human error or acts of nature, often involving the paranormal, a suspension of the laws of physics, or activity by extraterrestrial beings. An abundance of documentation for most incidents suggests that the Bermuda Triangle is a mere legend built upon half-truths and tall tales from individuals who sailed the area, then later embellished on by professional writers.

The Triangle area
The boundaries of the Triangle vary with the author; some stating its shape is akin to a trapezium covering the Florida Straits, the Bahamas, and the entire Caribbean island area east to the Azores; others add to it the Gulf of Mexico. The more familiar, triangular boundary in most written works has as its points Miami, Florida, San Juan, Puerto Rico, and the mid-Atlantic island of Bermuda, with most of the incidents concentrated along the southern boundary around the Bahamas and the Florida Straits.

The area is one of the most heavily-sailed shipping lanes in the world, with ships crossing through it daily for ports in the Americas and Europe, as well as the Caribbean islands. Cruise ships are also plentiful, and pleasure craft (boats and aircraft) regularly go back and forth between Florida and the islands.

The Gulf Stream ocean current flows through the Triangle after leaving the Gulf of Mexico; its current of five to six knots may have played a part in a number of disappearances. Sudden storms can and do appear, and in the summer to late fall the occasional hurricane strikes the area. The combination of heavy maritime traffic and tempestuous weather makes it inevitable that vessels could founder in storms and be lost without a trace — especially before improved telecommunications, radar and satellite technology arrived late in the 20th century.

The "Graveyard of the Atlantic"
Although another title of the Triangle, the "Graveyard of the Atlantic" is in fact two places: the area of continental shelf near Sable Island, Canada, and just off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. Of the two, Sable Island is nowhere near the Triangle, but it did claim one alleged Triangle victim: the steamship Raifuku Maru (a more famous case would be the recent loss of the Andrea Gail). Both places are known for the intensity that a severe storm brings to the area, especially in the winter months, with the relatively-shallow water making the waves worse than they would be in the deep ocean. The most famous victim of a Cape Hatteras gale was not a Triangle vanishing: the American Civil War ironclad USS Monitor went down in a severe gale while under tow to Charleston, South Carolina on December 31, 1862. A number of alleged Triangle incidents have included this area.

Answer 4

It is an area near Bermuda where many ships sank, both
in the past and present which has led to treasure hunting.
Aircraft have also simply disappeared in the past, but from
1960 on, some have gone through a hurricane and survived
to tell the story. Apparently, in a clear sky with no radar warning,
I believe six Jetliners flying at 10.000mt. over this area, suddenly
dropped to 3.000 mt. before stabilising. I remember reading this
in an article in Life magazine quite some time ago. The aircraft
were Boeing 707‘s and Douglas DC8‘s. The pilots reports were
that, in a clear sky, the jetliners jammed into a vacuum with their
turbines whining until levelling off with a bump at about
3.000mt. when the turbines returned to normal. Naturally, there
were reports of flight crew and passengers tumbling all over,
with food trays stuck to ceiling. This is a drop of 7000mt. in a
few seconds, and the story in Life Magazine was stunning and,
perhaps, it is possible to find the report on file. Certainly the
aircraft‘s black boxes have the details which provided this
article in Life.

Also, there are a lot of divers searching for sunk ships which
disappeared a few centuries ago, with gold and treasures on
board.

Present day reports are few and far between, and involve small
crafts, from sailing boats to fishing boats.

Explanations are many, but none to prove a definite theory,
but most statistics and reports lead to hurricanes.

Naturally, before weather reports and modern instruments
became available, there were surreal tales that live to be told
to this day.

Answer 5

The "Bermuda or Devil's Triangle" is an imaginary area located off the southeastern Atlantic coast of the United States, which is noted for a high incidence of unexplained losses of ships, small boats, and aircraft. The apexes of the triangle are generally accepted to be Bermuda, Miami, Fla., and San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Answer 6

The Bermuda Triangle is a fictional triangular piece of the Atlantic Ocean used by conspiracy theorists to try and make the loss of ships in the Atlantic more mysterious than it actually is. The exact location of the triangle depends on which author you read, and which sinkings they want to treat as mysterious.

Answer 7

It is simply an area on a world map that can be rougly contained in a large triangle that has some odd weather and water conditions that have led to many legends of lost airplanes and ships. By the way, ships sail through it daily and airplanes also fly through it several times a day, both with no problems at all.

Answer 8

My sisters not long done a project on this.

Its a invisable triangle of really salty water where sjips and planes go missing or their instruments stop working and they go off the radar only to arrive at their destination impossibly early.

the sea has large methane bubbles which maybe the cause of this but some people believe in the paranormal here.

Im not good at country names but its near mexico

Answer 9
