An example of a fast-moving glacier that can move up to 6 kilometers per year is a surge glacier. Surge glaciers exhibit periods of rapid movement followed by periods of slower flow, which can result in significant advancements over short periods of time. This dynamic behavior is typically linked to internal glacier processes such as changes in basal conditions or ice thickness.

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.
Two hundred and twenty feet a day, a world record!
We call this a glacier. Some do not move but most do.

Gravity can move rocks down. Moving water is good at moving rocks, particularly floods where the water is moving violently. A favorite is glaciation. A glacier can move a rock the size of a building across the landscape. Not very fast, but a long way.
The glacier can carry rocks. The moving of the glacier.
Because of the water moving in that turns to ice which acts like a glacier, which then moves the stones.
