Hardly moving
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.
An example of a fast-moving glacier that can move up to 6 kilometers per year is a surge glacier. Surge glaciers exhibit periods of rapid movement followed by periods of slower flow, which can result in significant advancements over short periods of time. This dynamic behavior is typically linked to internal glacier processes such as changes in basal conditions or ice thickness.

An example of a fast-moving glacier that can move up to 6 kilometers per year is the Jakobshavn Glacier in Greenland. It is known for its rapid movement and has been experiencing accelerated ice loss due to climate change.
The glacier can carry rocks. The moving of the glacier.
Glaciers move slowly downhill due to the force of gravity. The speed of movement can vary depending on factors such as slope steepness, temperature, and ice thickness. Generally, glaciers can move anywhere from a few centimeters to several meters per day.
Glaciers move slowly.
Two hundred and twenty feet a day, a world record!
The world's fastest moving glaciers are found in Greenland and Antarctica. The Jakobshavn Glacier in Greenland is one of the fastest moving glaciers, reaching speeds of up to 150 feet per day. In Antarctica, glaciers like the Lambert Glacier have been recorded to move at speeds exceeding 16 feet per day.
