Several joints allow range of motion, it depends on what kind of range of motion you are talking about. Ball & socket joints (such as the shoulder) allow circumduction, abduction and adduction; hinge joints (such as knee and elbow joints) allow flexion and extention.

What joint permits slight movement?

Sutures are immovable joints that bind the bones of the skull -- they allow no movement. Gomphosis are the joints that attach a tooth to the socket -- they also allow no movement. The syndesmosis is a fibrous joint where two bones are bound by larger collagenous fibers than a suture or gomphoses -- this type of joint offers a little more mobility. For example, one that offers very little movement is the joint that binds the distal ends of the tibia and fibula together. Another sydesmosis joint is where the ulna and radius are joined, which allows for pronation and supination of the forearm.

Is it true that the days become shorter because of earthquakes?

Only in some cases, and only to a very slight degree. Megathrust earthquakes, which occur at subduction zones result in the downward movement of large amounts of rock. This results in a very slight reduction in Earth's mean radius, which leads to a slight increase in the rotation speed. This then results in a the day length being reduced by a few millionts of a second.
