Terry John, age 15, of St. Michaels, Ariz., for his question:

WHAT IS THE DEVIL'S TRIANGLE?

The Devil's Triangle is also called the Bermuda Triangle. It's a spot that is off the southeastern coast of Florida where over the years many airplanes and ships have disappeared. Although many crafts crisscross the area daily, the mysterious disappearance of more than 50 vessels and planes since 1854 is baffling.

About a half million square miles are in the triangular area between Melbourne, Fla., Puerto Rico and Bermuda. Tremendously swift ocean currents here may sweep wreckage far away and thus help to keep the mystery building. Violent and unexpected storms and downward air currents are also regularly reported in this area.
