2. The Bermuda Triangle is a mysterious triangular area in the Atlantic Ocean where dozens of ships, planes, and people have disappeared with no good reason.

3. The triangle is located between Bermuda, Miami, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. It covers 500,000 miles. It is also known as Devil’s Triangle.

4. Some people think the explanation of the disappearances is related to an alien abductions, others blame paranormal activity, also some people think that it is the location of the lost city of Atlantis.

5.  Waterspouts, “tornadoes that appear on water and shoot water up over thousands of feet in the air,” that are unnoticeable by radar.  Human error or mechanical malfunction.  Also there is a lot of ships and planes that go by that area so there are more chances of crashes there than in other areas of the world.

6. I believe that the cause for the crashes is part that that is a place where many ships and planes travel and part human error. I say that because for one thing the odds of a waterspout popping up right there so many times is minimal to no chance of that happing.
