Precession
Precession, which in this case refers to a movement of Earth's axis. A full "turn" takes about 26,000 years.

The path that the Earth takes around the Sun is called its' orbit.
The Earth's revolution refers to its yearly orbit around the Sun. This movement takes approximately 365.25 days to complete, resulting in the changing of seasons and the passage of time on Earth. The term "annual" is used to signify that this revolution occurs on a yearly basis.
The movement of the Earth around the Sun is called revolution. This movement takes approximately 365.25 days to complete, resulting in one year.

A crack in the earth's crust would more correctly be termed a discontinuity (this may also be known as a fracture or fissure). A discontinuity on which relative movement has occurred is known as a fault.
The movement of an object around its own axis is called rotation. On Earth, this rotation takes about 24 hours to complete one full rotation.
