Bermuda Triangle – One of the most inexplicable places in the Atlantic Ocean has grasped the human imagination with unexplained disappearances of planes, ships, and people. It is a great mystery to us; to everyone in the world. This intriguing zone, nestled within the world’s second-largest ocean, continues to bewilder us, leaving us eagerly craving every intricate detail.
However, it is not a registered territory and you can not find it on maps, as there is nothing so official about this Bermuda Triangle. Still, this zone is considered a “Devil’s Triangle”, due to its association with foul weather or poor navigation, rendering it a perilous void. Here are some important facts about the Bermuda Triangle, an area that covers approximately 500,000 square miles of the Atlantic Ocean.
Mystery of Strange Disappearance Since Fifties
In the nearly seven decades since the first cases of strange disappearances in the area were reported in 1950. There has been much discussion about the precise reason for a number of strange events. For example: on 23 February 2017, after experiencing some mechanical and electrical issues over the triangle, Turkish Airlines flight TK183 (an Airbus A330-200) was forced to adjust its course from Havana, Cuba to Washington Dulles Airport.
Even Compass Could’nt Help You
One of only two locations on Earth where a compass points to true north rather than magnetic north is the Bermuda Triangle. Ships and aircraft risk going off course if this compass variation or mistake is not taken into account.
The Magnetic North Pole is 1,200 miles south of the Geographic North Pole and is continually moving. The agonic line was progressively advancing towards the west, creating magnetic declination, remarked by astronomer Edmund Halley.
Deepest Spots
In truth, the history of disappearances may be influenced by the area’s undersea terrain. A gradually sloping continental shelf gives way to a drop-off that is incredibly deep. The Bermuda Triangle region contains some of the world’s deepest pits. Any ships or aircraft that fall into these deep ditches are likely to never be discovered.
Environmental Considerations to be Noted
Many, if not most, of the disappearances, might be explained by environmental factors. The bulk of tropical storms and Atlantic hurricanes pass through the Bermuda Triangle. Before better weather forecasting, these perilous storms claimed the lives of several ships. Additionally, the Gulf Stream can bring about abrupt, even dramatic, shifts in the weather. The numerous islands in the Caribbean Sea also result in a lot of shallow water places, which can make ship navigation dangerous.
Unknown Mysterious Forces
While some spin tales of extraterrestrial abductions and the enigmatic Atlantis are theories that remain unproven; there are explanations grounded in science. Wild claims about alternate realms and unexplained vanishings may captivate, yet some hold a stronger foundation. Geomagnetic disruptions and oceanic flatulence, the release of methane gas from sediments, provide scientifically-backed insights into Bermuda Triangle.
An intriguing and enigmatic region of the Atlantic Ocean, the Bermuda Triangle is still well-known for its inexplicable disappearances. Its enigmatic nature is influenced by elements including bad weather, unusual compass variation, deep terrain, and environmental circumstances. Scientific explanations involving geomagnetic disturbances and methane gas emission offer insights into the riddles of the Bermuda Triangle while claims of extraterrestrial abductions and Atlantis remain unverified.
