What is Bermuda triangle according to Islam?

Bermuda Triangle has nothing to do with any religion, Islamic or Christian or Jewish or any other religion. You may refer to Geography or History or legends etc. but not religion.

The Bermuda Triangle has everything to do with selling books, magazines, and movie tickets. The Bermuda Triangle was devised by authors, not scientists and every decade has a new crop of people who will buy the stories (at least for a while).

What causes transports to sink into the Bermuda triangle?

in my opinion its the fact that there's a lot of lead and other metals under the surface of the ocean in Bermuda, and that causes ships electronics to go haywire

There is a theory that there are large pockets of decaying materials in the sediment there creating pockets of methane gas. The release of these gases will stall out an aircraft engine due to lack of oxygen. The bubbles can cause a boat or ship to breach and sink in a matter of minutes.

Why is the Bermuda triangle a triangle?

The Bermuda triangle got its name from where it borders as it borders Miami, Florida - San Juan, Puerto Rico and Bermuda.

Answer:

The first use of the term was in a 1964 article about seemingly unusual disappearances in the area that was published in 'Argosy' by Vincent Gaddis called 'The Deadly Bermuda Triangle'.

Then in 1974, two books were published, 'The Bermuda Triangle' by Charles Berlits and 'The Devil's Triangle' by Richard Winer. These books turned out to be very popular and the idea caught on, making this an excellent subject to sell books and magazines.

These two books were the source for the popular terms. These publications were based on speculation, not science.

What happens when a plane enters the Bermuda triangle?

Magnetic north is farther from true north in the Bermuda triangle than in any other place. I don't know for sure but wouldn't that mean that birds don't migrate directly south? How do birds even know what direction is south? If it has to do with magnets in their brain or something then it would mess up the direction they migrate. I'm not sure.

What created the Bermuda triangle?

The first use of the term was in a 1964 article with a similar theme that was published in 'Argosy' by Vincent Gaddis called 'The Deadly Bermuda Triangle'.

These books turned out to be very popular and the idea caught on, making this an excellent subject to sell books and magazines. These two books were the source for the popular terms.

Why ship and sink in Bermuda triangle?

There are a few theories. One is that pockets of natural gas will occassionally unlodge themselves and suck ships down. Another is that it has its own magnetic field which is also highly unlikely. The myth most likely stems from some form of an ancient legend such as a sea monster dwelling in the area that sank ships. The only reason the Triangle seems to have so many dissapearing ships is because if a ship sinks in it it will get much much more publicity than a ship sinking oh say off the coast of japan.

----------------------------------

Most likely, the same reason they sink anywhere else. Bad weather, structural failure, on-board explosions or fires... that sort of thing. None of these is more likely to happen in the Triangle. In fact, the Bermuda Triangle is a manufactured mystery. Given the weather and amount of traffic, it is no more dangerous than anywhere else. Reporters have a tendency to misstate how bad off the weather is during vanishings. They'll say the weather was calm during a bad storm, if it makes the vanishing more mysterious. If you really want to know what is going on, get Larry Kusche's book "The Bermuda Triangle Mystery- Solved".

What is the area of the Bermuda Triangle?

The Bermuda Triangle is an area of ocean where many planes, ships, and boats have gone missing without a trace. Craft that venture into the area are sometimes never heard from again. Bermuda, Miami, Florida, and San Juan, Puerto Rico form the points of the Triangle.

But vessels vanish all over the world, and so the Triangle is nothing special. A lot of the vanishings never happened at all, and a lot of them are not known to have vanished in the area. For example, the "Flight 19" listed below... no one knows where they vanished, so no one knows they vanished in the Triangle. The Bermuda Triangle is what I like to call a "Manufactured Mystery", something dreamed up to sell papers and books and such.

The Bermuda Triangle is an area of the western Atlantic Ocean, in the shape of a triangle with its points at Bermuda, Florida, and Puerto Rico. A number of planes and watercraft have disappeared in this area, and some have speculated that alien or supernatural forces are responsible. However, since neither alien or supernatural forces are known to exist, and natural reasons suffice to explain the mystery, such forces make a bad excuse for an explanation.

One of the oddest cases occurred in December, 1945, when "Flight 19", a group of five US Navy torpedo bombers, became lost in the ocean off Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Despite an intensive search, all five planes, carrying 14 airmen, disappeared without a trace. During the search, a Catalina PBM flying boat also disappeared with its crew of 13, although there is evidence that this larger craft accidentally exploded in flight and crashed. The available evidence makes it clear that the lead pilot simply got confused as to whether he was east or west of Florida. He thought he was west, and so kept moving east. One of his students was heard to say that if they would just head west they would get home. Unfortunately, no one listened. A men's magazine made up a set of wild "messages" supposedly sent by the doomed flight, including, "They look like they're from outer space, don't come after me". No such messages were sent in real life.

The hardest part people have understanding Flight 19 is how did they all get lost? Simple; they were all in formation with the same amount of fuel, so they might as well have been in one plane.

Is there gravitational force in Bermuda triangle?

Actually what happens there is the magnetic force or a high or powerful gravitational force at that area and old vedas say that when hanuman was going to bring medicine for laxmana a ghost at that places which can attract the things toward it was there at that time she took the shadow of hanumn and was settled there for many times and this is the historilcal one's and by scientist they say that there exists a powerful magnetic force there

Do things really disappear in the Bermuda triangle?

Nothiing will happen. Supposedly there is a Vortex in that area of the Atlantic Ocean. There is legend that the city of Atlantis existed in that general area. So therefore, if that vortex is open at the time anything goes through a certain coordination of that area, there is chance that it will be pulled by the energy of the vortex down into the ocean. Where the object goes at that point has yet to be answered. Legend is:

Another dimension.

What is baramuda triangle?

The Bermuda Triangle is a large section of sea in the Atlantic ocean where planes and boats have mysteriously sunk or gone missing. No one knows why even today.

Another opinion: If you mean the nonsense zone that would more accurately be described as the United States of America Rectangle, it's an absurd story told by modern writers in an attempt to obtain money from the gullible.

It's also the shape of the sails of the Bermuda rig.
it is a place where there is more gravity and any object that went above the Bermuda Triangle will collapse due to the gravity existing in that place. The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a region of the Northwestern Atlantic Ocean in which a number of aircraft and surface vessels are alleged to have disappeared in mysterious circumstances which fall beyond the boundaries of human error, pirates, equipment failure, or natural disasters. Popular culture has attributed some of these disappearances to the paranormal, a suspension of the laws of physics, or activity by extraterrestrial beings.

A substantial body of documentation exists showing numerous incidents to have been inaccurately reported or embellished by later authors, and numerous official agencies have gone on record as stating that the number and nature of disappearances is similar to any other area of ocean, however proponents of paranormal phenomena claim that many incidents remain unexplained despite considerable investigation.

The area of the Triangle varies by author. The boundaries of the Triangle vary with the author; some stating its shape is akin to a trapezoid covering the Straits of Florida, the Bahamas and the entire Caribbean island area and the Atlantic east to the Azores; others add to it the Gulf of Mexico. The more familiar triangular boundary in most written works has as its points somewhere on the Atlantic coast of Florida; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and the mid-Atlantic island of Bermuda, with most of the accidents concentrated along the southern boundary around the Bahamas and the Florida Straits. The area is one of the most heavily-sailed shipping lanes in the world, with ships crossing through it daily for ports in the Americas, Europe, and the Caribbean Islands. Cruise ships are also plentiful, and pleasure craft regularly go back and forth between Florida and the islands. It is also a heavily flown route for commercial and private aircraft heading towards Florida, the Caribbean, and South America from points north.

What is under the water of the Bermuda triangle?

I dont really know what goes on in the bermuda triangle, and it is wierd, but I do have a clue. I think that it is the pressure of the water and the air that pulls things down into the sea, crushes it and buries it deep down on the oceans bed.

Hi, I am a diffrent user. And this answer should have the title "This is how I think the bermuda triangle works?"

Why was the Bermuda trinagle called the Bermuda trinagle?

The Bermuda Triangle is a Fictional part of the Atlantic Ocean, with Miami, Florida (at one corner), San Juan, Puerto Rico (at another corner), and Bermuda (at another corner). It is a place where planes and ships are supposed to have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. The PBS science show Nova, and Dr. Arthur C. Clarke for the Discovery Channel, investigated the Bermuda Triangle and found it was much ado about nothing. There is no big deal about the Bermuda Triangle and almost all of the planes and ships that have disappeared there can be explained away. The Bermuda Triangle was mainly invented to sell cheap books, movies, and TV shows, to gullible people.

There is no more danger in the Bermuda Triangle than in any other large area of the plant. Countless people have gone through the Bermuda Triangle and nothing happened to them.

What is the worst thing to happen in the Bermuda triangle?

Every loss it the worst thing. In terms of numbers, the vessel Glomar was lost with a crew of 81. Or the largest, the vessel Berge Istra of 227,912 tons.

Additional Information:

The Glomar Explorer, built by CIA for the purpose of retrieving a sunken Soviet nuclear sub, was launched in 1972. It was launched under the name 'Hughes Glomar Explorer'; the CIA knew that a ship of that size and capacity could not be kept secret from the Soviets, so they made an agreement with Howard Hughes to use his company, Global Marine Development Inc., as a cover for the expedition. The mission was successful, most of the Soviet K-129 was retrieved to study the Soviet technology. When the mission was completed, In 1978, it was leased by an oil consortium for exploration and in 1997 was converted into a deep sea drilling rig. The Glomar Explorer is currently on leased to Marathon Oil for drilling offshore Indonesia; that lease goes through to 2012.

The Glomar Challenger was launched in 1968 under contract between the National Science Foundation and The Regents, University of California. For 30 months the ship was used for drilling and coring in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans as well as the Mediterranean and Red Seas. The purpose of the Glomar Challenger was scientific exploration. From 1972 until 1983, the ship was used to study the earth's crust, the formation of mountain ranges, earthquakes, and deep sea trenches. In 1985, the ship was retired and replaced by a ship with more modern equipment. Because of the many successful accomplishments of the Glomar Challenger, parts of the ship, such as its dynamic positioning system, engine telegraph, and thruster console, are stored at the Smithsonian Institution.

The MS Berge Istra was a Norwegian ore-bulk oil carrier, built in 1972 in Croatia. It was lost in the Pacific Ocean (not the Atlantic) near Mindanao, Philippines in 1975 with a loss of 30 people and two rescued from a life boat. The suspected cause of the loss was residue oil in the cargo hold where iron ore was stored, resulting in an explosion. The sister ship the MS Berge Vanga, also a carrier of ore and oil, disappeared under similar circumstances four years later enroute from Brazil to Japan (nowhere near the triangle). The loss of life for the Berge Vanga was 40. The two disasters halted the practice of dual use carriers.

I personally find these true accounts far more interesting than the myths. The research to find the real information was not hard with use of the internet. Try it sometime.

Where is the Bermuda Triangle?

The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean (an imaginary line drawn from Miami to Bermuda to Puerto Rico) in which a number of aircraft and surface vessels are alleged to have mysteriously disappeared in a manner that cannot be explained by human error, piracy, equipment failure, or natural disasters. Popular culture has attributed these disappearances to the paranormal, a suspension of the laws of physics, or activity by extraterrestrial beings.

A substantial body of documentation reveals, however, that a significant portion of the allegedly mysterious incidents have been inaccurately reported or embellished by later authors, and numerous official agencies have stated that the number and nature of disappearances in the region is similar to that in any other area of ocean.

Why compass starts rotating in Bermuda triangle?

The area has a long, known history of interference with both electronic and magnetic compasses, radios, and other navigation devices. It is believed that the reason for this is the way the Van Allen radiation belt covers the area at the general area around the Triangle and south of it (South Magnetic Anomaly). Thought the SMA is normally further south than the Triangle, it's believed that it occasionally fluctuates northward and causes problems in that area.

It's also the reason that NASA doesn't operate satellites over the area.
