what is 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 is an approximate equilateral triangle with its three corners roughly defined by the islands of Bermuda (one corner) and Puerto Rico near its capital city San Juan (another corner), and near Miami, Florida (a third corner), giving it an area of nearly half a million square miles (1.2 million km²). (Other shapes have been proposed as well as dimensions and borders—see the map at the right and its caption.)\n\nThere are many claims of paranormal activity within the Triangle, especially the inexplicable disappearance of ships and aircraft, or of their crews. Other common claims made of the region are that the laws of physics do not operate here as they do elsewhere, or that extraterrestrial beings are responsible for the disappearances.

The mistery of Bermuda triangle is a series of magnetic disturbances connected to a place in the Caribean Ocean where several planes and ships have been lost without explanation. It is called Triangle because the Bermuda islands, Miami and San Juan Puerto Rico can be used to plot a triangle on a map and this magnetic disturbances happen in the triangular area among these locations.  In 1945, flight 19 of the US Navy was lost.  Several Avenger airplanes and their crews were missing and haven´t been found. Those airplanes had radio communication and navigational instruments that apparently failed without a convincing explanation.

The Bermuda Triangle is definitely an atmospheric phenomena, current thought indicates it is an area where high levels of methane gas releases naturally into the atmosphere, causing high concentrated plumes, thereby suffocating and then stalling airplane engines at higher altitudes, leading to their mysterious disappearance.

No, the island of Atlantis was supposedly near the Azores island and a tsunami or hurricane wiped it out. The Bermuda triangle is on the other side of the world.

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. \n\nThe apexes of the triangle are generally accepted to be Bermuda, Miami, Fla., and San Juan, Puerto Rico.\n\nCountless theories attempting to explain the many disappearances have been offered throughout the history of the area. The most practical seem to be environmental and those citing human error. The majority of disappearances can be attributed to the area's unique environmental features. First, the "Devil's Triangle" is one of the two places on earth that a magnetic compass does point towards true north. Normally it points toward magnetic north. The difference between the two is known as compass variation. The amount of variation changes by as much as 20 degrees as one circumnavigates the earth. If this compass variation or error is not compensated for, a navigator could find himself far off course and in deep trouble.\n\nAnother environmental factor is the character of the Gulf Stream. It is extremely swift and turbulent and can quickly erase any evidence of a disaster. The unpredictable Caribbean-Atlantic weather pattern also plays its role. Sudden local thunder storms and water spouts often spell disaster for pilots and mariners. \n\nFinally, the topography of the ocean floor varies from extensive shoals around the islands to some of the deepest marine trenches in the world. With the interaction of the strong currents over the many reefs the topography is in a state of constant flux and development of new navigational hazards is swift.

The Bermuda Triangle\nThe Media Blitz\nThe Mysterious Events\nModern Theories\nRational Explanations\n\n \n\nThe Media Blitz\n\nThe Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle and Hoodoo Sea, birthed its legend on September 09, 1950 in a strange AP dispatch.  E.V.W. Jones, a reporter, penned an article on a strange anomaly he had stumbled across.  It seemed as if a unusual number of planes and ships had been disappearing in the ocean between Florida and Bermuda.\n\nTwo years later, in 1952, Fate magazine published an article by George X. Sand who wrote of a "series of strange marine disappearances, each leaving no trace whatever, that have taken place in the past few years in a watery triangle bounded roughly by Florida, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico".\n\nIn 1974, Charles Berlitz published the infamous The Bermuda Triangle. Although some discount the book as sensationalism at its extreme and full of inaccuracies, it sold thousands of copies and put the Bermuda Triangle  squarely in the minds of the world population.\n\n \n\nThe Mysterious Events\n\nOver 200 separate mysterious disappearances have been attributed to the Devil's Triangle, including massive vessels such as the USS Cyclops and the SS Marine Sulphur Queen. \n\nIn 1492, Christopher Columbus made several interesting recordings in his log during his journey through the Devil's Triangle.  He told of strange magnetic deviances in his navigation instruments.  Strange lights were seen on the distant horizon and in the sky.  He even recorded in his log of a "great flame of fire" that crashed into the ocean.\n\nAnother mysterious event occurred in 1872.  The Mary Celeste had departed on November 7, 1872 for Genoa.  On December 4, 1872, the crew of the Dei Gratia spotted the vessel and noted the ship was sailing very erratically.  When they turned and approached the ship they were astonished to find it completely empty.  The lifeboat was missing even though the ship appeared to be in perfect condition.\n\nThe disappearance of Flight 19 ranks at the very top of Bermuda Triangle lore.  On December 5, 1945, five Navy Avengers vanished while on a routine training mission over the Atlantic.  Patrol leader Lt. Charles Taylor (an experienced pilot who was familiar with the area) had radioed Florida with the bizarre message, "Control tower this is an emergency. We seem to be off course. We seem to be lost. We can't make out where we are." . When told to head due west they replied "Everything looks wrong, even the ocean looks strange".  A Navy search was initiated (including a Martin Mariner that blew up 23 minutes into its flight) that lasted for weeks.  No trace was ever found of the aircraft or crew.\n\nOn December 27, 1948, a commercial flight traveling from Puerto Rico to Florida, met a similar fate.  NC-16002 DC-3 radioed Miami that they were 50 miles out and ready to receive landing instructions.  Miami radioed back the instructions and awaited a reply of confirmation.  None was ever received.  After 3 hours, a search and rescue team was sent out to find the missing aircraft.  In calm seas and clear weather, no trace was found of the craft or its passengers.\n\n \n\nModern Theories\n\nSome of the more esoteric theories include alien abductions, time warps, strange magnetic fields, and black holes.  Some have even theorized that the ancient city of Atlantis existed in this area (Edgar Cayce gave a reading in 1932 that placed the city of Atlantis precisely in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle).\n\n \n\nRational Explanations\n\nBut debunkers have been quick to offer rational explanations for all the mysterious events.  Two items met the public's eye during 1975 that served to demystify the Bermuda Triangle mystery for many persons.  In 1975, The Bermuda Triangle Mystery - Solved was published.  In this book, Larry Kusche set out to disprove prior theories by offering common, everyday explanations for these unusual e

The Bermuda Triangle, sometimes known as the Devil's Triangle, is a 1.5-million-square-mile (4,000,000 kms) area of ocean roughly defined by Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and the southern tip of Florida. Some believe paranormal events occur in this region, in which the laws of physics no longer apply. Though these occurrences remain an enigma, something kind of electromagnetic anomaly does occur in this region which has affected ships and airplanes for centuries. One can only speculate based on reported events.\n\nLocated on the 80th degree longitude, the Bermuda Triangle is one of the two areas on Earth where a compass will point at true north rather than magnetic north. This compass variation can be as much as 20 degrees, enough to throw one catastrophically off course. The other is the Devil's Sea. \n\nThe 'Devil's Sea' is classified by many as having the same paranormal effects is Bermuda Triangle. It is located in a region of the Pacific around Miyake Island, about 100 km south of Tokyo. Although the name is used by Japanese fishermen, it does not appear on nautical maps. In popular culture, especially in the United States, the Devil's Sea is widely believed to be, together with Bermuda Triangle, an area where ships and planes particularly often disappear mysteriously. The Japanese, on the other hand, do not consider the Devil's Sea to be any more mysterious or dangerous than other coastal waters of Japan. \n\nThe first mention of any disappearances in the area was made in 1950 by E.V.W. Jones as a sidebar on the Associated Press wire service regarding recent ship losses in the area. Jones' article notes the mysterious disappearances of ships, planes and small boats in the region, and ascribes it the name "The Devil's Sea." \n\nSo, The Bermuda Triangle, Actually a Triangle.

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 Ocean, 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.
