I am researching the Bermuda triangle and I need creditable sources on methane gas deposits, tidal waves, magnetic feilds to expalin logical reasons behind ships and aircrafts disappearing

Do you mean the mysterious disappearance of ships, planes and do they reappear thousands of miles away?\nIt does seem the currents can change and be strong. There are lots of little islands, rocks, storms appear suddenly.\nI understand a survey of events in a triangle from Maine, Mass., in that area has more ship wrecks, missing planes (JFK Jr.'s) in a smaller area than the Bermuda Triangle. I understand the Coast Guard Record's do not correlate with the popular books.

why don't you have a reseach at the internet. that what yahoo! are for it is a search engine. maybe you can get the answers and check it out at the public library too. i have a friend who has a book about bermuda triangle. i can check it out and tell you if i got time. ok. did you know there is also a bermuda island? watch 'LOST'. they are a bunch of people who are stranded at the bermuda island..

The Bermuda Triangle encompasses an area with large deposits of frozen gas hydates. Normally these are stable under pressure under the sea bed but occasionally the pressure is released, most commonly after an undersea landslide (very common of the Mississipi delta). When the pressure is reduced, gas (methane) is released and travels to the surface. Simple physics will tell you that water with gas bubbles will not be as buoyant as ordinary water thus a ship travelling over an area where gas is being released is likely to suddenly sink.\n\nAs for aircraft, the released gas gains an electrical charge as it rises through the water and at the point of emergence it causes localised magnetic disturbances which effect compasses and other electonic equipment.

Various explanations for the apparent high number of dissapperances have been put forward, ranging from the mundane to the hyper-fantastic.\n\nSkeptics contend that this region has a comparable rate of maritime and aerial incidents as any other similar sized region of the ocean. They point out that Lloyd's of London, a world-reknowned insurer of maritime vessels, does not charge a higher insurance premium for ships that regularly traverse the triangle.\n\nScientific considerations for an increased dissaperance rate take into acount that this region experiences severe tropical storms and is the source of many hurricanes. These storms create an increased danger to both ship and air traffic.\n\nRougue waves have also been put forward as a possible cause. These rare waves can reach heights of as much as 100 feet (30 meters), easily swamping most ships. Rouge waves, however, would have no effect on air travel.\n\nA third scientific explanation is methane hydrates. Methane deposits on the ocean floor may release bursts of methane gas that reduces the density of the water it permeates. Since ships rely on displacement to stay afloat, a reduction of density in the water would cause a ship to immediately sink. As the methane leaves the water and rises into the air, it would reduce the density of the air as well, thus reducing lift on aircraft, causing them to descend rapidly. In addition, the methane would change the air mixture taken into the engines of the aircraft, causing the engine to stall. While these events have not been witnessed in nature, they have been proven in lab experiments.

the mystery surrounding the bermuda triangle is because of the abundance of folk lore and urban legend about lost ships (e.g. the Mary Celeste), planes that fly out of course, people who went in and never got out. These stories are myths; the 'mystery' of the bermuda triangle is actually scientifically explainable: in the bermuda triangle, the magnetic north is the same as the true north (elsewhere, these two are different), and this phenomenon screws up the plane/ship/persons' radar and compass systems. Most often than not, the ship captain or pilot or person do not know this and fail to adjust their systems accordingly, hence, accidents happen.

No it has to do with large amounts of methane gas that the Earth periodically releases from beneath the ocean floor. There was an extensive study put into it with people tops in their fields. They discovered methane being released. The conclusion from the studies and experiments..\n\nMethane gas caused plane instruments to to read the plane was climbing in altitude do to the change in the atmospheric pressure, when actually the plane remained the same, thus causing pilots to put their air crafts into a dive and causing certain death. \n\nMethane gas can also cause a plane engine to stop running in an instant, as it was proven a very low amount in the air is all that is needed to induce this catastrophic effect.\n\nIt was also proven that when large pockets of methane gas are released from Earth under the ocean floor..it can cause a ship as large as a massive oil tanker to sink in 4 seconds, due to the gas having a stronger negative effect on the ships buoyancy.\n\nI do believe this to be the most plausible explanation for the Bermuda Triangle.

The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a geographical area in the Atlantic Ocean approximately triangular in shape and is famous for its supposed paranormal activities. The Bermuda Triangle's three corners are roughly defined by Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, giving it an area of nearly half a million square miles (1.2 million km²).\n\nParanormal Claims:\n\n"A significant number of ships and aircraft have disappeared under highly unusual circumstances." \n"Paranormal activity where the known laws of physics are violated." \nIt has even been suggested that "extraterrestrial beings are responsible for some of the disappearances."\n\nThe Triangle marks a corridor of the north Atlantic stretching northward from the West Indies along the North American seaboard as far as the Carolinas. To take advantage of prevailing winds, ships returning to Europe during the Age of Sail would sail north to the Carolinas before turning east to cross the north Atlantic. This pattern continued after the development of steam and internal combustion engines, meaning that much of the north Atlantic shipping traffic crossed (and still crosses) through the Triangle's area.\n\nThe Gulf Stream, an area of volatile weather, also passes through the Triangle as it leaves the West Indies. The combination of heavy maritime traffic and tempestuous weather made it inevitable that vessels would founder in storms and be lost without trace, especially before the telecommunications, radar and satellite technology of the late twentieth century. The occasional vessel still sinks, but rarely without a trace.\n\nOther areas often purported to possess unusual characteristics are the Devil's Sea, located near Japan, and the Marysburgh Vortex (or "Great Lakes Triangle"), located in eastern Lake Ontario. However, the "Devil's Sea" is not particularly well known in Japan, due to the fact that most of the boats lost were small fishing boats with no radios.

The Bermuda Triangle (also known as Devil's Triangle) is a nearly half-million square-mile (1.2 million km2) area of ocean roughly defined by Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Bermuda Triangle has become popular through representation by the mass media, in which it is a paranormal site in which the known laws of physics are either violated, altered, or both.\n\nWhile there is a common belief that a number of ships and airplanes have disappeared under highly unusual circumstances in this region, the United States Coast Guard and others disagree with that assessment, citing statistics demonstrating that the number of incidents involving lost ships and aircraft is no larger than that of any other heavily traveled region of the world [1]. Many of the alleged mysteries have proven not so mysterious or unusual upon close examination, with inaccuracies and misinformation about the cases often circulating and recirculating over the decades.\n\nThe triangle is an arbitrary shape, crudely marking out a corridor of the Atlantic, stretching northward from the West Indies, along the North American seaboard, as far as the Carolinas. In the Age of Sail, ships returning to Europe from parts south would sail north to the Carolinas, then turn east for Europe, taking advantage of the prevailing wind direction across the North Atlantic. Even with the development of steam and internal-combustion engines, a great deal more shipping traffic was (and still is) found nearer the US coastline than towards the empty centre of the Atlantic. The Triangle also loosely conforms with the course of the Gulf Stream as it leaves the West Indies, and has always been an area of volatile weather. The combination of distinctly heavy maritime traffic and tempestuous weather meant that a certain, also distinctly large, number of vessels would founder in storms. Given the historical limitations of communications technology, most of those ships that sank without survivors would disappear without a trace. The advent of wireless communications, radar, and satellite navigation meant that the unexplained disappearances largely ceased at some point in the 20th Century. The occasional vessel still sinks, but rarely without a trace. It should be noted that both the concept and the name of the Bermuda Triangle date only to the 1960s, and were the products of an American journalist.\n\nOther areas often purported to possess unusual characteristics are the Devil's Sea, located near Japan, and the Marysburgh Vortex or the Great Lakes Triangle, located in eastern Lake Ontario.

It is a triangle area of sea off the Florida/ Miami coast where planes and ships have disappeared, and people. Apparently the magnetic force field inside the triangle messes with radars on planes etc, so the pilots get confused, veer off their course and crash. Other boats have come through the triangle without any crew. Others claim it is a gateway into another world, but I guess we will never know unless we actually go through it.
