The motion of the Earth is like the motion of a top; a precession. The Earth spins on it's axis and makes a full rotation every 23 hr. and 56 min. causing day and night.
Earth has four main motions: rotation, which causes day and night; revolution, which causes the annual seasons; precession, which causes a slow wobble in its axis; and nutation, which causes a slight variation in the tilt of its axis.
Rotation and Revolution.
Earth's motion is primarily influenced by two factors: its rotation on its axis, which gives us day and night, and its orbit around the Sun, which gives us the changing seasons. These motions are caused by the initial angular momentum from the formation of the solar system billions of years ago.
Plate motions are driven by convection currents in the Earth's mantle. Heat generated from the core causes mantle material to rise, move laterally, and then sink back down in a cycle. The moving mantle material drags the tectonic plates along with it, influencing their motions and interactions at the surface.
The three major motions that the Earth undergos in space are Revolution(Orbit), Rotation, and Precession
convection currents in the mantle provide the basic driving forces for plate motions.
Rotation and Revolution.
Plate motions produce stress in Earths crust that leads to faults, mountain building, and earthquakes.
There are two principle motions of the Earth. The earth rotates around on its axis. The earth is also known to revolve around the sun.

Earth revolves around the sun and rotates on its axis.

Gravity can pull water in and out, causing tide like motions. The gravity of the moon and sun, for example pull on the earths oceans and cause high and low tides.

yes, all oscillatory motions are periodic but all periodic motions are not oscillatory.
