Why was the British isles joined together with the rest of Europe during the ice age?
low sea levels
Did sea levels drop 300 Ft during the last ice age?
According to the most recent research - sea levels were roughly 394 feet lower than they are now during the last ice age. After sea levels rose this caused areas, such as the land bridge between North America and Asia, to completely disappear beneath the ocean.
What do geologists think happend during the last ice age?
Sea levels rose over 300 feet.
What was the earth's sea level during the ice age?
Earth's seal levels drop during periods of glaciation, and are dependent on the amount of water locked away in the glacial ice.
Why was more land exposed during the ice age than it is now?
A large proportion of Earth's surface water was in the form of ice and so sea levels dropped significantly.

What two sea around the british isles were ice filled during the ice age?
The Irish Sea and the North Sea.
What two continents were connected by a land bridge during the last ice age?
North America and Asia were connected by a land bridge called Beringia during the last ice age. This land bridge formed when sea levels dropped due to glaciers forming during the Pleistocene epoch.
How are the land area and the ocean affected during the ice age?
During a glaciation: Sea-level falls (world-wide - the phrase "rising sea-levels", in the plural, you hear bandied about is rather silly). Consequently more land is exposed - albeit that a lot of it is covered in ice, with the tundra and sub-arctic areas moving to lower latitudes. During a warm interglacial (as now): Sea-levels rise, drowning previously exposed areas, though less of the land is buried under ice and the tundra fringes retreat Pole-wards. There isn't a "the Ice Age". An ice-age, such as the present one, is a series of alternating cold and warm phases.

What was the theory of how people came to the Americas?
The clasic theory is that people from northern Asia crosses the Bering Straights - possibly during an ice age (with low sea levels).
During the Ice Age did the sea level rise or fall?
Sea level falls during ice ages because more water is locked up in glaciers.
What do geologists think happened in the last ice age?
Sea levels rose over 300 feet
