Continental and valley glaciers both develop in regions where there is constant snowfall and freezing temperatures throughout the year. Both types of glaciers move at a very slow pace.
They move at centimeters per year.

This makes no sence, no set amount of glaciers are made in a year

Here are some facts about glaciers......Glaciers are big masses of ice left over from the ice ageWhen a glacier moves it cuts a basin into the Earth. For example, the basins of the 5 Great Lakes were carved by an advancing and receeding glacier over millions of years.They have been around for millions of yearsSome glaciers can move up to a foot a day that's mile a year
Malasprina and Athabasca were two glaciers that swept over North America. They carved the Great Lakes.
the plates move over time . they move 10cm (4in) a year however over millions of years they move thousands of kilometers . this is plates tections
As a guess, about a foot. Some glaciers that are closer to being flat may move less than that. Some glaciers that are steeper naturally move faster. There is a glacier in the bay near Tierro del Fuego (just north of Antarctica) that is moving many yards in a year, or more. This is the result of it being more cold at the glacier's top resulting in more ice buildup from rain/snow.
