Glaciers move like slow giants because ice is really squishy. Imagine you're standing in a giant snow pile that keeps getting bigger and heavier, eventually, the weight makes it slide forward, just like when you push a heavy box across the floor. Over time, this tiny movement adds up, making glaciers slowly creep like ancient creatures walking across Earth's surface.
Examples
- A glacier moves like a heavy snow pile sliding down a hill
