Momentum is the product of mass M and motion V, p=MV. If V is small and mass M is enormous, then the product MV is still huge.

How can a supertanker have a huge momentum when it moves relatively slow?
When you gain speed, you also gain momentum, and that's why it takes a longer amount of time to stop or speed up.

Why is it hard to stop an object that is moving very fast?
The bigger momentum an object has, the harder it is to stop it. Momentum is defined as velocity times mass. An object with really big mass which moves really slowly (like a car moving slowly) is also hard to stop.
If a particle moves in circle with constant speed its angular momentum about the center of circle?
The angular momentum is a constant.
Does lithospheric move slowly or fast?
The lithosphere is Earth's crust, and Earth's crust moves slowly, so I say that the lithosphere moves slowly.
