Glaciers move slowly.
the glaciers move very slowly
All
When glaciers move as they grow, they grind the ground and rock underneath them. These pieces are pushed forward while they grow. When they final begin to melt, the water that is in the glaciers flows out from underneath them. This often carried sand and small bits of gravel. As they melted further and faster, larger gravel and stones wash out. Finally very large rocks and boulders are left behind. All of these are called deposition.

They all slowly absorb CO2 from the atmosphere
Glaciers move slowly.
Glaciers tend to move slowly, forced downwards by the weight of snow and ice accumulating at the top of the glacier.
actually glaciers move quite rapidly, they might not look like they are moving at all but in fact for their giant size they can move very quickly.
Glaciers move almost the same speed at all locations. However, according to Newtons 7th law of motion, the glaciers will move faster in certain spots due to fossilized fish.
A continental glacier can move in all directions and a valley glacier can move in a surge. :)
Yes, for over thousands of years snow, ice and glaciers have been slowly moving. In the process they make a deep valley or gorge from all the erosion.
in all directions
glaciers move with tremendous force, glaciers advance and retreat, and last but not least, they covered all of Canada and some of New York city :)
Until they start to break off they move very slowly. Some do not move at all others move as much as 100 feet in a day. (4 feet/hour). The average OS probably around .5 feet/hour, although the variances are great. Some glaciers have multiple speeds. The top may be moving fast while the bottom is still.
Salted water doesn't react with oxygen.
A glass bottle doesn't react with oxygen.
Like all molecules, a molecule of H20 is in constant motion; 'hot' molecules move faster than 'cold' molecules. If the molecules move slowly enough the substance appears stationary to us (frozen water) and if they move quickly enough they will expand to fill their container (vapor or gas water.)
