is there any scientific reasons behind the disappearance of ships n plans in the triangle and what is it?can someone tell me ?

There possibly is for the disappearance of ships. I've heard that the sea there (possibly due to some plantlife on the seabed releasing gasses or something equally far fetched) can become less dense.
Dense isn't even what I'm trying to say but ships float by displacing their weight in water. If the water is full of oxygen bubbles then it'll be lighter and then won't support the weight of the ship.

If this was the case then there would be loads of ships on the seabed there, rather than them vanishing off the face of the earth altogether.

There are more shipwrecks in the English Channel than there are in the Bermuda Triangle. You can be sure that there is a 'scientific' explanation for each and every one, wherever in the world it occurred. The supposedly spooky element associated with the Triangle is just a myth.

Proper investigations into the so-called �mystery' invariably show that perfectly reasonable explanations cover the phenomena. For example, one such investigation into the disappearance of a whole flight of aeroplanes was carried out by a friend of mine who works for the Air Accident Investigation Board. His evidence was shown in a TV documentary in 2004. He proved conclusively that no supernatural explanation was needed, as the error was on the part of the leader of the flight.

He imagined his compass was malfunctioning - as was made clear in conversations with the control tower - and then overflew their first turning-point in a triangular training exercise. Thereafter, he mistook one island for another, because of their similar shapes, which further compounded their mistakes. Eventually, they simply flew out over the Atlantic until they ran out of fuel and crashed.

Seabed gases - sometimes unconvincingly blamed for missing ships - are extremely unlikely to affect aircraft.
