Which of the these is the best summary of paragraphs 5-7?

It's amazing how quickly some glaciers can move. It took one glacier in the Himalayas only three months to cover 7 miles. Geothermal energy is one of the factors that causes melting and creates a lubricating effect.

Pressure and geothermal energy cause glaciers to melt. This creates a film of water between the glacier and the rock. With the pull of gravity, the glacier slides down an incline. On a flat surface, it spreads in all directions.

Some glaciers move through basal sliding. Others move be spreading across a flat surface. I found this fact amazing, since I didn't think glacier moved.

Glaciers are not still. They move. And they can move quite fast. Most of the time, though, they move just inches a day.
