Atomic structure shifts are not conventionally considered ‘moving’. Most people wouldn’t call water turning to ice a ‘movement’.

I was thinking of when water gets over boiling point and then is disturbed:

Not until the glaciers show up.

A glacier is compacted snow, not ice

I can warrantee you compacted snow is ice. Just go to Greenland, Argentina or Switzerland and see a glacier by yourself. You see ice and bubbles(bubbles could grow and become caves and over time they go up).

Icebergs are called ICE- berg for a reason, not snow-bergs.

If you had a snow that is 1/10 the density of water, just 10 meters of snow means 1 atmosphere of pressure. That pressure compresses the snow, making 10 meters hold more water and more pressure.

There are places in the world with glaciers higher than three kilometers(1.8 miles).

Snow is ice.
