This Article Needs Help

I'd fix it myself, but I don't know enough about land bridges. I've cleaned up some of the weird grammar, but I didn't check any of the facts, and the article is still quite unencyclopedic. Tzepish 23:10, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sea level has continued to slowly rise about 1-2 meters a year for the past 5,000 years.

This needs a correction I would say...

Yeah, didn't look right to me either. Tzepish 05:58, 21 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've improved the article a bit more but tagged it for further cleanup. I'm tempted to delete the plate tectonics section but maybe someone can make something better of it. The "other meanings" section needs to go but I'm not sure whether it can be just deleted or whether bits should go to other articles or disamb pages. Nurg 20:09, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think the section formerly headed plate tectonics definitely has to stay, since the land bridge theory is a now obsolete paradigma in geology. I added in a few facts from the german article on Adolf Wegener. Zara1709 07:29, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps this should be rolled into isthmus? Neobolts (talk) 14:37, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unencyclopedic is too kind. "Prominent" examples of land bridges? A well-known example of intercontinental human migration across a land bridge more than 40,000 years ago seems to be unknown to the author. Aboctok (talk) 11:52, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sundaland? You are welcome to improve the article - grab some good references and go for it. Vsmith (talk) 12:33, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Use of the term "Land bridge" in freight transportation

I would like to add a section describing the use of the term in freight transportation. Unlike its use in Biogeography, a landbride in the transportation context is when a waterborne shipment is transported across a landmass (continent) in order to reach a destination. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Girlieuitenweerde (talk • contribs) 17:41, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Australia and Indochina?

Was there a land bridge between Australia and Indochina? Portillo (talk) 02:46, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The land bride was called beringia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.194.186.110 (talk) 23:11, 30 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Two articles

This sorry article contains two articles trying to get out:

1) a poorly-cited List of land bridges

2) the text article Theory of land bridges which is reliably sourced.

Not sure why they're both here, really. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:12, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
