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.

The tiny black dots that move through glaciers are likely cryoconite, which are particles of dust, soot, or other impurities that get deposited on the surface of the ice. As the cryoconite absorbs heat from the sun, it melts the surrounding ice, creating dark spots that appear to move as the ice melts and refreezes.
glaciers move slowly but when theres alot of rain the water and the glaciers move faster

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.
Glaciers are large masses of ice that move very slowly, while rivers are bodies of flowing water that move faster. Glaciers are formed by the accumulation of snow over time, while rivers are formed by precipitation and runoff.
