What body of water separates Alaska and soviet union?

The Bering Strait is a body of water about 82 kilometers wide at the nearest point. It separates Alaska in North America from Russia (or whatever it is called these days) in Asia.Some scientists believe that at some time in the past this area was a connecting bridge (of land or a glacier) that allowed prehistoric people to migrate from Asia to the western hemisphere.

According to geologists what created the Eurasian land bridge between Siberia and Alaska and what event brought it to a close How did it affect the migration and settlement of early peoples?

The Bering Strait between Siberia and Alaska became dry land because of the last Ice Ace which caused much of the ocean water being locked up in giant ice fields, lowering the sea level considerably and turning the Bering Strait sea floor into dry land. At the end of the Ice Age the ice melted, the sea level rose again and Bering Strait once again became a sea. Up to that last Ice Age, the Americas were practically or even totally uninhabited by humans. Once the Bering Strait dried up and the climate of Siberia became too cold for humans to sustain, a trek started from Siberia to northern America, and from there, ever farther south.


Where did I dians first land in America?

No one knows how the Native Americans got to America, but there is a theory called the "land-bridge theory" that offers an explanation that many agree with. The northern American aboriginals walked across from Siberia to Alaska thousands of years ago when the ice age froze up huge amounts of water in the Bering Strait.

How do the historians know that the bering strait land bridge froze and allowed for the migration into north america?

At the end of the Ice Age, continental glaciers forming in the earth's northern hemisphere locked up so much water that it lowered ocean levels. In the Bering Strait region, this drop in ocean levels exposed tract of land known as the Bering Land Bridge. This bridge joined northeast Asia to what is now known as Alaska.

How did the bering strait form?

The Bering Strait formed as a result of geological processes during the last Ice Age, when sea levels were significantly lower due to the vast amounts of water trapped in ice sheets. This drop in sea levels exposed the land bridge known as Beringia, connecting Asia and North America. As the climate warmed and the ice melted, the land bridge was submerged, creating the Bering Strait we see today. This strait now separates Russia and Alaska, serving as a remnant of a once-contiguous landmass.
