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 the southernmost tip of 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. 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\n\nSkeptical responses\n\nThe marine insurer Lloyd's of London has determined the "triangle" to be no more dangerous than any other area of ocean, and does not charge unusual rates for passage through the region. Coast Guard records confirm their conclusion.\n\nSkeptics comment that the disappearance of a train between two stops would be more convincing evidence of paranormal activity, and the fact that such things do not occur suggests that paranormal explanations are not needed for the disappearance of ships and airplanes in the far less predictable open ocean.\n[edit]\n\nKusche's research\n\nIntrigued by the number of students coming to him looking for information about the Bermuda Triangle, Lawrence Kusche, a reference librarian with Arizona State University at the time of the Flight 19 incident, began an exhaustive follow-up investigation of the original reports. His findings were eventually published in 1975 as The Bermuda Triangle Mystery: Solved.\n\nKusche's research revealed a number of inaccuracies and inconsistencies between Berlitz's accounts and statements from eyewitnesses, participants and others involved in the initial incidents. He noted cases where pertinent information went unreported, such as the disappearance of round-the-world yachtsman Donald Crowhurst which Berlitz had presented as a mystery, despite clear evidence that Crowhurst had fabricated the accounts of his voyage and had probably committed suicide. Another example was the ore-carrier Berlitz recounted as lost without trace three days out of an Atlantic port when it had been lost three days out of a port with the same name in the Pacific Ocean. Kusche also argued that a large percentage of the incidents attributed to the Bermuda Triangle's mysterious influence actually occurred well outside it.\n\nKusche came to several conclusions:\n\n    * The number of ships and airplanes reported missing in the area was not significantly greater, proportionally speaking, than any other part of the ocean.\n    * In an area frequented by tropical storms, the number of disappearances that did occur was neither disproportionate, unlikely, nor mysterious.\n    * The numbers themselves had been exaggerated by sloppy research. A boat listed as missing would be reported, but not necessarily its eventual, if belated, return to port.\n    * The circumstances of confirmed disappearances were frequently misreported in Berlitz's accounts. The numbers of ships disappearing in supposedly calm weather, for instance, did not tally with weather reports published at the time.

none of the answers is correct , actually magnetic lines of force will be acting in anticlockwise direction.

Hi, its not gravity but a force opposite to gravity that prevents a boat from sinking and keeps an airplane in the air. Sorry, but I forgot the name of the force, I think it begins with a B. O, the second person said it- Buoyancy.

shosh is correct. Cause they are! The pull of gravity comes from the earth. Don't get hung up on UP and DOWN. There is no UP or DOWN... What is UP? Why would you assume that you are UP and I am DOWN? Or vise versa? There is no UP or DOWN. We have just chosen north as up as a convenience. You could hold a map in any direction or a globe at any angle it doesn't matter. We just have tried to standardize our thinking. We are working with a 1000 year old model that doesn't take into account what we know today.

You might be thinking of a Reuleaux (or Rouleaux) triangle, but it has rounded sides, not rounded corners.

bermuda triangle is an are in the atlantic ocean the three points being miami florida, bermuda island and Puerto rico if i remember correctly. People like to mystify the ocurrences in the area (sunken boats, crashed planes, people disappearing). When it can all be easily explained by the Methane Clathrates in the ocean floor that release methane periodically. You can google it of course if you want more info.

bermuda triangle is a location which 3 area pointed in a triangle shape, these 3 place inclusing costa rica, miami, and ......(i forgot), This location is still mysterious for us. because everything inside the triangle will disappear. Some people said that magnetic can absorb us, and some said that there are aliens strategy to catch human...And I think you better go to wikipedia website for details, that's all....

The Bermuda Triangle is a 1.5-million-square-mile (4,000,000 km²) area of ocean roughly defined by Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and the southern tip of Florida.

The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a geographical area in the Atlantic Ocean famous for its supposed paranormal activities. It is roughly an equilateral triangular shape with its three corners located near the islands of Bermuda, Puerto Rico (near its capital city San Juan), and Miami, Florida, encompassing an area of nearly half a million square miles (1.2 million km²).\n\nThere are many claims of paranormal activity within the triangle, especially the unexplained disappearance of ships and aircraft, or of their crews. Other common claims made of the region are that the laws of physics do not apply there as they do elsewhere, or that extraterrestrial beings are responsible for the disappearances.

Coriollis force theory indeed\n\n\nCounter clockwise winds travel around a LOW pressure area,upward.. Winds around a High pressure area travel clockwise downward in the Northern hemisphere.....

You could also talk about the tension on the ropes or chains and explain how the force is perpendicular to the direction of motion and therefore causes a circular or arced path.  It seems obvious because the ropes have a set length, but this is the exact same phenomenon that keeps the earth in orbit.  The gravitational force is perpendicular to the diretion of the earth's movement (on average, of course.  Since the actual orbit is elliptical, it's not a perfect analogy).

Two questions In One!!!!\n\nThe Bermuda Triangle is a 1.5 million square mile area of ocean roughly defined by Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and the southern tip of Florida. It is supposedly a paranormal site in which the laws of physics are violated or altered.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bermuda_Triangle\n\nFor 2nd Question: Eventually you will end up at the other side of the planet.. But remember, the Earths core is around  5000 to 7000 degrees Celsius...

No. All motion is "Forward". Right down to the tiniest Particle. It can be pushed but not pulled. No matter the direction.

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 centrifugal force is not gravity. Gravity is a real force, and centrifugal force is a fictitious force. Centrifugal force usually works in a direction OPPOSITE to gravity. \n\nCentrifugal force is the force we invent in a moving frame to explain what appears to be a force pushing out from the center of rotational motion (but it is just the law of inertia, really, not a force). For example, if you spin a rock tied to a rope, the rope stretches out as the rock spins. It looks like there is a force pulling the rock outward; this is the fictitious force, centrifugal force. While the rope is holding the rock in the circular path, the rope is pulling the rock in to the center of the motion, so the tension on the rope is providing the opposing force, called centripetal force. \n\nIn the case of the earth, gravity from the sun provides a centripetal force to hold the earth in a roughly circular orbit around the sun (or actually around the center of mass, and the orbit is elliptical). So the centripetal force is gravity, and centrifugal force is the apparent force, but fictitious, that makes the earth appear like it wants to fly off into space, if gravity was not there. If the sun's gravity just shut off, the earth would travel off into space, and an observer on the sun would say it looked like a force was pulling the earth outward away from the sun. We call this force centrifugal force.

Well, yes, the gavity is pulling you down, and you are not moving. So you are subjected to an acceleration and are not moving.\nMind you, one can argue that the *resulting* force is zero, as the ground is reacting with an equal and opposite force to your weight; if you take it that way, to have an unbalanced force should result in motion.
