Question

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration states that the frequency of disappearances that occur in the Bermuda Triangle is akin to the disasters that occur in any other well-travelled area of the ocean, the reason being that

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The Bermuda Triangle is an area of the North Atlantic Ocean off the coast of North America where over 50 ships and 20 planes are reported to have mysteriously vanished. The Atlantic coast of the Florida panhandle (in the United States), Bermuda, and the Greater Antilles form a loosely triangle shape in the area, whose boundaries are not unanimously agreed upon.

The USS Cyclops, seen here in 1911 in the Hudson River in New York, went missing in the Bermuda Triangle in March 1918. No one survived, and the wreckage has never been discovered.

Unusual occurrences have been reported in the area since the mid-nineteenth century. Some ships were discovered abandoned for no obvious cause, while others never sent out distress signals and were never seen or heard.Aircraft have been reported and then vanished in the vicinity, and rescue efforts are alleged to have vanished as well. However, no wreckage has been discovered, and some of the theories proposed to explain the recurring mystery have been wildly inaccurate. Although there are many beliefs about supernatural origins for these disappearances, the most likely culprits are geophysical and environmental variables. One theory is that as they reached the Bermuda Triangle, pilots failed to account for the agonic line—the point at which there is no need to compensate for magnetic compass variation—resulting in considerable navigational mistake and disaster. Another frequent belief is that the missing ships were sunk by "rogue waves," which are huge waves that may reach heights of up to 100 feet (30.5 metres) and would destroy anything in their path.

Hence according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration "there is no evidence that mysterious disappearances occur with any greater frequency in the Bermuda Triangle than in any other large, well-traveled area of the ocean ".
