The answer was A Secret or A Riddle and was already guessed correctly. Rather fitting, I think.

Two new ones. Quite easy, in my mind.

2. Many things can create one, it can be of any shape or size, it is created for various reasons, and it can shrink or grow with time.

Name many things that can create a mountain or a glacier. Sorry, no dice. Also, mountains and glaciers are huge, so they aren't of 'any size'
