Devil's Triangle - A Mystery??


                          The Bermuda Triangle, which is still considered to be a modern world mystery, is called as Devil's Triangle.Why is it a mystery and why is this name?. The area represented by Bermuda Triangle is mainly formed by three places Florida,Bermuda and Puerto Rico. When we join these three cities with an imaginary line, it forms a triangle and hence the name. This imaginary area is located in southeastern Atlantic Coast of United States. The mystery here is the frequent disappearance of ships and flights whenever it crosses this area. 

                          Lots of scientific explanations were given in the past 50 years for the disappearances. Those explanations were relevant but not apt. The Bermuda Triangle is nothing but a stretch of water flowing between the mentioned cities. Most of the theories cited environmental factors as a reason for the disappearances. The Bermuda triangle is one of the two places in earth where the magnetic compass will point towards true north. Otherwise, the magnetic compass will be pointing to magnetic north. The deviation between the two is approximately 20 degrees which will result in huge deflection. But the evidences gathered didn't reveal any semblance of this.

                          One of the famous theories about Bermuda Triangle was given by Dr. Ben Clennell, of Leeds University, England. This theory is about the presence of Methane Hydrates in Ocean. The large amount of sediments of Methane Hydrates in ocean would lessen the density of water. This will make any ship floating above the water sink like a rock. Also, the highly combustible gas can ignite the aircraft and blow it into pieces. But, to make atmosphere highly combustible, it certainly requires huge percentage of flammable gas to be present in atmosphere. But this is not a conclusive theory either!!

                           Theories keep coming by, but the Mystery still not demystified!!
