Background knowledge The Bermuda Triangle isn’t just a little triangle in the middle of the ocean, it actually covers about 440,000 square miles (1,140,000 square kilometers). The main climate in the Bermuda Triangle is windy and sunny and is approximately sixty to one hundred degrees Fahrenheit. Although the Bermuda Triangle is called a triangle, it doesn’t actually have an exact boundary My Theory My theory about the Bermuda Triangle is that the methane gas under it is waiting to come up through the surface through seismic activity do to underwater landslides. If the methane gas gets released, the water density in that area reduces and therefore the water can no longer keep the ships afloat. When these underwater landslides happen, they start to take down planes, ships, and many transportation devices that fly or float over the Bermuda.

If you found my topic interesting, maybe you can look on those websites I got my information on to find even more information.
