Where does the scary seaweed come from?

In the vast sea area to the east of the world-famous Bermuda Triangle, there have been appalling incidents of ships sinking and planes crashing. Moreover, this sea area is much larger than the Bermuda Triangle. This sea area is covered with green aquatic plants. When Columbus led three sailboats through here, he struggled with the water plants for three weeks before escaping from this "water prairie." They named this sea of ??grass "Salgacha", which means "pickled sea" in Portuguese. Later, "Salgacha" became the name of the seaweed growing in this sea area. my country called it "Sargassum" and called this sea the "Sargasso Sea".

The development of modern science has allowed people to see from satellite cloud images that the Sargasso Sea is an oval sea area located between 20 and 35 degrees north latitude and 20 and 60 degrees west longitude, which is from Azov to the east. The Islands extend to the Bahamas and Antilles in the west, covering an area of ??approximately 4.5 million square kilometers. Many scientists believe that the Sargasso Sea is right at the center of the northern Atlantic circulation, which is a calm sea area with weak currents like the eye of a typhoon. Dr. John H. Reiser of the United Kingdom also provided a unique insight into the stability of the water flow in the Sargasso Sea. He believes that the Sargasso Sea is caused by the warm water masses in the shallow sea drifting to the cooler deep water layer in the ocean, forming a leap layer that rapidly changes the temperature. The leap layer clearly separates the cold and warm water masses in the ocean and prevents them from flowing to each other. Therefore, the seawater in the Sargasso Sea is stable, and the surface seawater hardly mixes with the middle and lower seawater, so the nutrients in the shallow water layer cannot be renewed. Plankton cannot thrive in the surface layer of the Sargasso Sea, and marine animals and large fish that feed on plankton cannot survive. This place has become a lifeless sea area.

But where does this endless seaweed come from? Some believe it drifted from the coast of the West Indies. They originally lived among the reefs on the seabed, but were later broken up by a hurricane and floated over. However, this argument was denied by Dr. Barr of the United States in 1930. He found that seaweeds grew floating, with no sign that they had ever had a life history of growing on reefs. Moreover, the total production of these seaweeds reached millions of tons. It was obviously impossible to drift from the coastal seabed or What ship did it come from? But Dr. Barr also did not say where the seaweed came from.

It seems that the shipwreck in this sea area was caused by accidentally entering the Sargasso Sea: seaweed entangled the propeller, making the ship unable to move, trapped in it, and even lost control, causing it to capsize or sink due to collision. But how to explain the plane crash here? What's even more strange is that this large area of ??seagrass comes and goes, thus casting a mysterious veil over this sea area.
