Continental and valley glaciers both develop in regions where there is constant snowfall and freezing temperatures throughout the year. Both types of glaciers move at a very slow pace.
Here are some facts about glaciers......Glaciers are big masses of ice left over from the ice ageWhen a glacier moves it cuts a basin into the Earth. For example, the basins of the 5 Great Lakes were carved by an advancing and receeding glacier over millions of years.They have been around for millions of yearsSome glaciers can move up to a foot a day that's mile a year
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.
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.

This makes no sence, no set amount of glaciers are made in a year
Glaciers can move at different rates depending on various factors, such as temperature, slope, and ice thickness. On average, glaciers can move anywhere from a few centimeters to a few meters per day. To determine the specific rate at which the North Moraine Hill Glacier is moving each year, a study or monitoring of the glacier's movement would need to be conducted.

Glaciers can move so slowly that they take more than a year to travel just a few centimeters. The immense weight of the ice and the intricate dynamics within glaciers cause their movement to be incredibly slow.
No, continental glaciers form in areas that have cold temperatures all year.

There are no glaciers on Fiji. It's too warm for a start.
