Me being of quite shy and nontalkative mind today will come forth with zero vulgar terms and rather an interesting history lesson for my little fishies. The bermuda triangle has brought forth many theories but one that caught my eye was on a few nights ago. It was a special about a new discovery that found that in thhis region is Methane gas deep under rocks deep in the ocean and when a earthquake happens this gas rises and seeps into the engines of planes and messes with the plane's altitude thingermagig and when the pilots sense the plane quickly reaching higher altitudes the plane is actually staying the same so the pilots take a huge nose dive making it seem that they are going down but really they are nose diving into the ocean. and with ships something about the gas weakens the ship making it break in half and sink (ill look further into the ship thing). yea interesting? twas to me. bye. :)

It was only in 1981 that a geochemist, Richard McIver, went public on a link between methane gas blowouts and the Bermuda Triangle myth. He stated that massive landslides often occur along the North American continental shelf, which lies to the north of the Bermuda Triangle. Such land slumps can occur over a large area bringing down huge boulders which rupture the layer of gas hydrate beneath the sea floor, freeing the gas that is trapped beneath the hydrate ‘cap’ and also liberating huge amounts of methane trapped within the hydrate itself. The moment a methane gas pocket ruptures a vast reservoir of gas suddenly surges from the seabed, rising up in a huge plume before erupting on the surface within seconds and without warning. A ship caught in such a blowout would be doomed; the water beneath it would suddenly become much less dense, sinking it in a matter of moments. The vessel would plunge into the depths, where it would be covered as sediment disturbed by the blow out settles back on the sea floor. In fact, planes too could fall prey to such a deadly fallout.

cool...I watched some movie on the bermuda triangle...

Maybe so.. But I've heard before that ships were found.. And without a trace of anyone on them, out near those areas. If that's true, how do you explain that?

big nasty sea monsters with many tentacles :)

I know were the bermuda triangle is .... :stunned:

The bermuda triangle mystery has always interested me. Thanks Amanda. :)

That sounds amazing. Thanks for sharing that :)

England?

 

Speaking of deep sea things, anybody interested in lost underwater ruins, like Atlantis? Or things of that nature?

your welcome to laura and shiver. but a correction. when the methane gas is released it makes little bubbles over a very broad area of the ocean in that region. the bubbles which are gas envelops the water and makes the boyant force drop severly over a short period of time. so if the boyant force is less that the massive ships the ship will sink. like they do. yea that one is a little more discriptive i guess. HELLOOOOO FELLOW COLDPLAYERS. JUST HOME FROM SCHOO. :)

Wait.... I would think that if there's lots of tiny bubbles of methane gas in the water, that would actually increase the buoyant force. :confused:

i dun think so. why would it?
