Where Did All the Ships Go

The Bermuda Triangle is one (51) the greatest mysteries of the sea. In this triangular area between Florida, Puerto Rico and Bermuda in Atlantic, ships and airplanes (52) to disappear more often than in (53) parts of the ocean. And they do so (54) leaving any sign of all accident or any dead bodies.
It is (55) that Christopher Columbus was the first person to record strange happenings in the area. His compass stopped working, a flame came down from the sky, and a wave 100 to 200 feet high carried his ship about a mile away.
The most famous disappearance in the Bermuda Triangle was the US Naval Air Flight 19. (56) December 5,1945,five bomber planes carrying 14 men, (57) on a training mission from the Florida coast. Later that day, all communications with Flight 19 were lost. They just disappeared without a trace.
The next morning,242 planes and 19 ships took part in the largest air-sea search in history. But they found nothing.
Some people blame the disappearances (58) supernatural forces. It is suggested the (59) ships and planes were either transported to other times and places, kidnapped by aliens (60) attacked by sea creatures.
There are (61) natural explanations ,though. The US Navy says that the Bermuda triangle is one of two places on earth (62) a magnetic compass points towards true north (63) magnetic north. (64) planes and ships can lose their way if they don’t make adjustments.
The area also has changing weather and is known (65) its high waves. Storms can turn up suddenly and destroy a plane or ship. Fast currents could then sweep away any trace of an accident.

Aerosols are collection of small liquid or solid particles dispersed in air or some other medium. The particles are all so tiny that each is composed of only a few hundred atoms. Because of this they can float in the air for a very long time. Perhaps the most commonly experienced aerosol is industrial smog (烟雾) of the kind that plagued London in the 1950s and is an even greater problem in Los Angeles today. These collections of aerosols reflect the Sun’s heat and thereby cause the Earth to cool.
Dr Rasoo1 and Dr Schneider have calculated the exact effect of a dust aerosol layer just above the Earth’s surface in the temperature of the planet. As the layer builds up, the present delicate balance between the amount of heat absorbed from the Sun and the amount radiated from the Earth is disturbed. The aerosol layer not only reflects much of the Sun’s light but also transmits the infrared (红外线) radiation from below. So, while the heat input to surface drops, the loss of heat remains high until the planet cools to a new balanced state.
Within fifty years, if no steps are taken to stop the spread of aerosols in the atmosphere, a cooling of the Earth by as much as 3.5~C seems inevitable. If that lasts for only a few years it would start another ice age, and because the growing ice caps at each pole would themselves reflect much of the Sun’s radiation it would probably continue to develop even if the aerosol layer were destroyed.
The only bright spot in this gloomy forecast lies in the hope expressed by Dr Rasoo1 and Dr Schneider that nuclear powder may replace fossil fuels in time to prevent the aerosol content of atmosphere from becoming critical.
