The Bering Land Bridge, also known as Beringia, played a pivotal role in human migration across the Pacific during the last Ice Age, around 11,500 years ago. When much of Earth’s water was trapped in glaciers, sea levels dropped, exposing land that was once underwater. This natural land connection facilitated the movement of animals and humans between separate regions. Understanding the Bering Land Bridge highlights the significant impact of climate changes on migration patterns and the connection between continents.

Basic Facts • Humans migrated across the pacific during the last ice age, which was 11,500 years ago. • During the Ice age much of Earth’s water was locked up in glaciers. • The result of this was seas water level lowering, so that it exposed land previously underwater. • A Land bridge is a land connection that joins together separate areas, which allows animals and people to migrate or go across.
Vocabulary!!!!!! • Another name for the Bering land bridge is Beringia! • A glacier is an extended mass of ice formed from snow fall and gathering over the years. • A land bridge is an actual land connection that connects landmasses.
