The Earth spins like a carousel. When weight is shifted from one side of the carousel to another, or even just moved by a few feet, the carousel wobbles just a bit.
Any major earthquake causes some movement of the tectonic plates, and thus can "shift the Earth's axis" by just a bit. VERY powerful earthquakes, such as the ones in December 2004 or March 2011 can jiggle it measurably, especially using super-sensitive instruments like GPS satellites.

What angle is Earth's axis tilted with respect to Earths orbit?
The season
How might earths climates be different if earths were not tilted on its axis?
Earth's climates might be different because they won't be the same
Did the equator shift as a result of the Japan earthquake?

What does Earths magnetic axis do not do with its rotational axis?
intersect
Are earths magnetic poles located on its axis?
No, Earth's magnetic poles are not located exactly on its geographical poles. The magnetic poles are located slightly off-axis and can shift over time due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field.
Two reasons for seasons?
1. Tilt of earths axis 2. Earths axis remains parallel throughout its yearly orbit.
