Water is able to support a person and even a large ship. The strength, or ability of water to support weight, can be reduced by gas. For example, it’s more difficult to float in a whirlpool bathtub.

Press the button and see one possible factor in the story of the Bermuda Triangle. In a region of the western Atlantic that stretches as a triangle between Bermuda, Florida and Puerto Rico several large ships are rumoured to have disappeared without explanation into the depths of the ocean. One possible explanation is the effects of methane gas formed at the bottom of the ocean reducing the supporting power of the water.
