Being that the majority of the claims towards the Bermuda Triangle have been left unsolved, there are not many evidence to trace back to any of the disappearances. Although this is true, many theories explaining the deranged accuracies have been produced. According to Van Riper some of the more creditable explanations to these unsolved banishments can be attributed to troubled sea conditions for example unexpected weather changes and turbulence or unskilled pilots and sailors. Other rumored claims made to this legend are described to be powerful forces including alien invasion, time warps, new worlds, sea monsters, and ocean farts (Kidsworld Magazine). Despite these tempting rumors to believe they are not vey reliable or valid. The only factual indications made are those that can not fully explain the mysteries beneath the numerous disappearances. The area labeled as the Bermuda Triangle is the second place in the world where the true and the magnetic north pole align; triggering problems within compasses which in turn result in causing sailors and pilots to get lost. Another factual point made, describes the water patens of the Atlantic Ocean. The waters are not only difficult to navigate from but consist of factors that influence their ruggedness for example deep ocean trenches which can explain why these disappearances are left untraced. · “The Bermuda Triangle: exploring the mystery of this underwater wonder.“ Kidsworld Magazine Spring 2011: 11+.
