What was Beringia?

What was Beringia?

• A. A sea route
• B. A land bridge connecting Siberia and Alaska
• C. A city in Russia
• D. A mountain range

Answer: (D)

Beringia was a land bridge that connected Siberia in Asia with Alaska in North America during the last Ice Age when sea levels dropped. This exposed a broad land area across what is now the Bering Strait, enabling humans and animals to move between the continents. It is not a sea route, a city, or a mountain range. As glaciers melted and sea levels rose, the land bridge was submerged, separating the continents again and shaping how the Americas were finally populated.
