The rigid section of the lithosphere that moves as a unit is known as a tectonic plate. These plates are large, solid slabs of rock that make up the Earth's surface and float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. Tectonic plates can interact at their boundaries, leading to geological phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain formation. The movement of these plates is driven by forces such as mantle convection, slab pull, and ridge push.

In the space marine codex where does it tell you how much each person can move?

It doesn't say how much in the codex, it tells you how much in the rulebook. If the unit can move any more than normal, it will tell you in the unit description. Otherwise, you can tell how far it moves by looking at that unit type in the movement section of the rulebook. Hope this helps!
