The oceans became shallower as part of the effects of global warming. The climate became drier and this has forced water to evaporate from the oceans.

Why did the oceans become shallower during the last ice age?

Much of North America, and other parts of the globe were covered in ice that was as much as two or three kilometers thick. Remnants of those glaciers are still with us. And also to a lesser extent in some of the Earth's mountain ranges such as the Rocky Mountains.Much of the precipitation that originated as evaporation from the surface of the oceans fell as snow over the land and formed into glaciers. That was the reason the ocean levels were lower than they are today.
