Giant Structure Under Bermuda Triangle Baffles Scientists

  • Scientists discovered a vast, previously unidentified geological structure, a thick rock layer, deep beneath the Bermuda Triangle.
  • The unique rock layer, about 12.4 miles thick, is twice as extensive as typical layers and helps 'float' Bermuda's crust.
  • Led by Prof. Jeffrey Park and Dr. William Frazer, the study used seismic waves to map the subsurface down to 31 miles.
  • The discovery challenges conventional geological theories about island formation and the persistence of Bermuda's elevation.
  • The structure's origin remains ambiguous, possibly linked to deep mantle dynamics or the breakup of Pangea.

Why It Matters: This discovery challenges geological theories, reshaping our understanding of Earth's formation.
