Rogue and tidal waves have the power to destroy ships and planes in seconds. This theory is sometimes called the Large Wave theory. First of all, there are many large zones in the Bermuda Triangle capable of producing rogue waves, most notably the Gulf Stream. These zones are capable of doing these, because their bad weather, including storms and typhoons, change the currents. The currents that hit each other directly stack on top of themselves, and eventually make rogue waves, capable of instantly taking down a ship of a large size. Also, common earthquakes cause tidal waves and tsunamis that can take down a ship or helicopter instantly if made contact with. An earthquake from inside the Bermuda Triangle created a giant tsunami, which ended up being the 1817 tsunami in Philadelphia. The tsunami not only damaged things on the shore, but also went ahead and damaged, if not destroyed many ships that were docked at the shore. Finally, many indications of rogue and tidal waves have been found in the area from the studies of scientists. They have noticed large wave patterns from inside the Bermuda Triangle that could cause the disappearance of ships. I believe this theory is very likely due to the strong evidence given, and also the fact that large waves commonly occur in the Bermuda Triangle. Also, bad weather is common in the Bermuda Triangle, which can make these …show more content…
I wanted to do the Bermuda Triangle because I have known about it for a long time. I never really understood how or what made ships and planes in the Bermuda Triangle sink. So I went ahead and tried to find and adequate reasoning that not only would convince me, but would also convince someone else about what happens in the triangle. Personally, I think the Large Wave theory is more likely than the Methane Crystal theory. This is because of stronger evidence and more often large waves have been seen in person or on sonar in comparison to methane crystals. But even though I think the Large Wave theory is more likely, many theories are available for people to read about, and it will always create speculation for the Bermuda Triangle. And while I believe in the Large Wave theory, and believe it is the most likely theory of the bunch, there is always the fact that someday, someone, somewhere, will figure out exactly what happens in the Bermuda
