Answer:

Glacial movement

Step-by-step explanation:

Glaciers are gigantic and solid “rivers” of ice. They exist for much of the Earth's history and are responsible for great geographical features on its surface, including the Great Lakes.

Glacial movement varies from several meters per hour to several meters per century. Sometimes, when conditions are right, glaciers increase, accelerating their rate of movement by up to 100 times.
