Answer:

About 30,000 years ago, during the Ice Age, temp. fell and much of Earth was covered by glaciers, sheets of ice up to a mile thick. This exposed a wide bridge of land between Asia and North America that scientists call Beringia.

people were across the Americas by 15,000 years ago. The first people to reach America travelled via the Pacific coast.
