Top 6 Hypotheses Regarding The Bermuda Triangle - Page 4 of 8

Methane gas hydrates

Reputable American geologist, Dr. Richard McIver suggested a logical, yet improbable theory. According to Dr. McIver, an element possibly responsible for the weird disappearance of ships in the Bermuda Triangle is the methane gas hydrates formations. Because such deposits can be found below the sea floor at various depths, he assumes that in the Triangle a huge methane hydrate formation lies inches underneath the water. Each time the methane erupts, it is able to send gas upwards flying hundreds of miles away towards the surface, which makes watercrafts sure victims.
