Glaciers move 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.

Glacial drift
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.
No, there are no glaciers in Lake Superior. However, glaciers CREATED Lake Superior, in fact, all of the Great Lakes. Lake Superior may have large floes of ice in winter.
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. :)
Glaciers move very slowly, typically at rates of a few centimeters to several meters per year, depending on various factors such as temperature, slope, and the presence of meltwater. This slow movement is driven by gravity and the internal deformation of ice. In some cases, glaciers can experience faster movement, known as "surging," but this is not the norm. Overall, their movement is gradual compared to many other natural processes.
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.
Continental glaciers move outwards in all directions from their center due to the force of gravity. The movement is influenced by the underlying topography and the weight of the ice mass.
All glaciers are large masses of ice that form from the accumulation and compaction of snow over time. They move under their own weight, flowing slowly due to gravity, and can be found in polar regions and mountainous areas worldwide. Glaciers also play a crucial role in shaping landscapes through erosion and deposition. Additionally, they serve as important indicators of climate change, as their mass and extent are sensitive to temperature fluctuations.
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 :)
