The water in the ice of the last Ice Age melted and that slowly increased the amount of water in the oceans and seas. There was a very large amount of water tied up in the glaciers that cover a lot of the planet. With the added water in the oceans, they then cover that land bridge. This is now happening today with the melting ice at the poles. This can be seen in very low lying areas like New Orleans. This area keeps loosing land.

Why were people no longer able to walk to North America as the year 18000 B.C?

By 18,000 B.C., rising sea levels had submerged the land bridge known as Beringia, which once connected Asia and North America. This land bridge allowed prehistoric peoples to migrate between the continents during the last Ice Age. As the climate warmed and ice sheets melted, the resulting increase in sea levels made the land bridge impassable, cutting off direct land access to North America. Consequently, migration routes shifted, and peoples in Asia were no longer able to walk to North America.
