AnirudhaThe Reason
The scientists found out that the weather in that area is pretty extreme if compared to other places. They also found out that the area surrounding the Bermuda Triangle keeps changing the weather without giving any warnings which are very strange. It was believed that it is because of the violent weather these disappearances have taken place. But it is the theory of the University of Southampton that really explains everything about the Bermuda Triangle.
The Reality
The scholars from the University of Southampton have finally solved the mystery once for all. They blame the phenomenon called Rogue waves, reason behind the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle. So, what are Rogue waves? They are generated due to storms and the process of oceans’ swell colliding with each other. It is the collision that makes them this powerful that brings down an airplane from that height. One rogue wave can reach up to the height of 100-feet which is the same as the height of the largest tsunami ever happened in 1958 in Lituya Bay, Alaska.
Combination Of Storms
Simon Boxall, an oceanographer from the University of Southampton told the Sun newspaper, “There are storms to the south and north, which come together. And if there are additional ones from Florida, it can be a potentially deadly form of rogue waves.” The question is why it took so long for the scientists to detect these waves when they were already there in the Bermuda triangle.
Draupner Wave
We don’t know why it took so long for the scientists to unveil the mystery of rogue waves. It was in 1995, one of the scientists detected a huge 84 feet long rogue wave that shocked everybody. This first wave ever recorded was named as the Draupner Wave. Now, when we know what goes behind the Bermuda Triangle, we can easily explain the incidents one by one.
Revisiting The USS Cyclops
No, they didn’t actually visit the Bermuda Triangle, instead used their genius minds. The scholars from the University of Southampton recreated the conditions that were possibly there during the time when the USS Cyclops vanished in thin air using an indoor simulator. They found some amazing things that brought some concrete conclusions.
The Simulation
They found that because of the design flaw that was present in the USS Cyclops related to its flat bottom the ship experienced the heavy effect from the rogue waves which took the ship deep inside the sea to never be found in this lifetime. They also found that it would have been a 50-foot rogue wave that took down the entire ship. This new evidence opened some new gates for the world to discover something else about the Bermuda Triangle.
