glaciers
The term that refers to large masses of slowly moving ice is "glacier." Glaciers form from the accumulation and compaction of snow over time and can flow under their own weight. They are found in polar regions and mountainous areas, playing a crucial role in Earth's climate and hydrological systems.

Large amounts of fallen rock are called "talus."But Rock avalanche is a proper term, as is Rock slide, or rockfall.
GlacierLarge masses of floating ice are called Icebergs. There are different types, but that is the general term applied to those large masses of ice.
Glacial refers to anything related to glaciers, which are large masses of ice that move slowly over land. The term can describe the processes, features, or products associated with glaciers, such as glacial erosion, glacial moraines, or glacial lakes. Glacial also refers to the cold, icy conditions typically found in regions where glaciers are present.
The term for a large body of ice that moves slowly over land is a glacier. Glaciers form from accumulated snow that compresses into ice over time and can flow due to gravity. They are often found in polar regions and mountainous areas. As they move, glaciers can shape the landscape through erosion and deposition.
Most of them are moving slowly out beyond the orbit of Neptune, in the kuiper belt. Longer term comets are thought to also be as far out as the Oort cloud.
The term used to describe a moving object is "kinetic."
