8. VARIOUS THEORIES BEHIND
DISAPPEARANCES
The Magnetic Theory
• The Bermuda Triangle is
thought to be at a point on
the earth where there is
high magnetic activity. The
high magnetic energy
causes compasses to spin
and could confuse
navigators.
The Gas Theory
• The Bermuda Triangle is
situated over a large
oceanic trench.
• It is believed that this
trench occasionally releases
gas which lowers the
density of the water.
Because of this change,
boats can no longer float.
9. The city was believed to be
powered by crystals and it is
thought that these crystals
cause the strange
disappearances.
Some Also Believe It Is Due To
The Ancient Curse Which
Was Put Upon Atlantis For
Sinking Ships
Aliens

are the reason why the
vessels disappeared.
Some of these people think
that there is an underwater
base in the region.
Others think that vessels are
confused by a downed
UFO.
