The "Land Bridge" was a theoretical "ice bridge" between East Russia and Alaka which enabled the Native Americans to travel to America. It was caused because of the most recent Ice Age because the Arctic Ice advanced to the Bering Strait (the body of water that currently seperates Alaska and Russia). There is no Land Bridge now because when the Ice Age ended the ice melted , which left only water.

What was the Beringea Land Bridge?
The Beringea Land Bridge, often referred to as Beringia, was a land connection that existed during the last Ice Age, approximately 20,000 to 30,000 years ago, between present-day Alaska in North America and Siberia in Asia. This land bridge allowed humans and various animal species to migrate between the continents as sea levels were significantly lower due to glacial ice. As the climate warmed and glaciers melted, rising sea levels submerged the land bridge, isolating the populations that had crossed it. Beringia is crucial for understanding the migration patterns of early humans into the Americas.
What happened to the beringia land bridge?
Or Bering Strait was submerged by waters from melting glaciers after the ice age. Since no humans were there back then or there to record and study the land we really have no idea what happened but what i just gave you is the assumption that many geologists have made about the whole affair.
Are bridge lengths and spans the same thing?
A span on a bridge is the distance between supports such as from pier to pier. A bridge can have several supports over its length. A bridge length includes the entire bridge.

What allowed the land bridge over what is now the Bering strait to form?
Lower sea levels and most of the Earth's water being frozen allowed the land bridge to form over what is now the Bering Strait. It is believed, the bridge was formed over 10,000 years ago.

What is now the name for the area that had a land bridge that connected Alaska and Siberia?
Bering Strait
What is the name of the land bridge that connected Asia and north America?
they crossed a bridge called beringia, or bering straight. it was created during the ice age when glaciers trapped so much water that the ocean levels dropped. a bridge of land, now called beringia, appeared where the bering straight is now. after that, when the earth grew warm again, glaciers melted and the bridge flooded.
What is the name now for the area of land bridge that once connected Siberia and Alaska?
The Bering Strait
