If by "revolve" you mean rotate, then all life would instantly cease to exist. Since the Earth is rotating at a constant 500m/s, then all living things on the Earth would continue to travel at 500m/s relative to the now stationary Earth, due to their inertia.

What action causes day and night the earth orbits the sun or Earth rotates on its axis?
The earth rotates on its axis.
Earth and rsquos axis slowly but continuously points in different directions a movement known as .?
Precession. This word is also used for the change in direction of the axis of other rotating objects, e.g. a spinning top.
How the earth rotates?
The Earth spins on its axis because of conservation of angular momentum. The classic example of this is a figure skater. When a figure skater pulls in her arms, she spins faster. The Earth formed when gas left over from making the Sun condensed into the planets. As this gas cooled and condensed, it started to spin faster. Now that it is spinning (and not condensing any more), it will keep spinning at a steady rate unless something stops.
Bottom of the earth is called?

What are the points where the Earth's axis passes through the Earth's surface?
They are the poles.
Is the movement of the earth on it's axis?

The seasons are caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis combined with its movement around the SUN.
What type of movement causes night and day to happen on all planets?
The rotation of the earth on its axis cause day and night.
Are the seasons caused by the movement of Earth's axis?
The seasons are cause by the tilt of the axis of the Earth. The rotation about axis itself moves very little
How many days does the earth spin on its axis?
it never stops spining. One complete rotation of the earth on its axis is called ONE DAY
When does the earth spin upon itself?
The Earth spins on its axis all the time. It never stops.
Which kind of movement of the earth causes day and night?
The movement of Earth on its own axis is called Rotation and it causes day and night.
What would happen if earth axis were titled?
.
What the movement of earth on its axis called?
The earth "rotates" on its axis. At the same time it "revolves" about the Sun. Very three-dimensional.
Is time on earth is measured by tracking earth's movement in relation to the axis?
yes
Is the movement of sunspots caused by the spinning of earth on its axis?
yes
What do you call the turning movement of the earth on its axis?
"Rotation" is the spinning of a planet on its axis.
