Yes, it did tilt the earth slightly.
It may have also shortened the length of Earth's days by about 1.26 microseconds. A microsecond is one-millionth of a second. ~ Look to the related link below .
What? No...the earths axis has been tilted for hundreds of millions if not billions of years. If your question is: Did the earthquake in Chile cause a variation in the tilt of the earth's axis? Then the answer is yes, very slightly, but noticeable.
The earthquake shifted Eastern Japan towards North America by about 13 feet . The quake also shifted the earth's axis by 6.5 inches .
shifted earth's axis about 10 meters.
There has been a change in the shape of earth crust due to this terrible earthquake caused by displacement over Asian tectonic plates. This has resulted in 8 feet around/ over the epicentre. Such a huge change in shape of earth's crust, resulting change in earth's momentum/ GD2 around Sun; resulting our day is now shorter by fraction of micro-second!
Yes, the 2010 Chile earthquake was powerful enough to cause a slight shift in the Earth's axis, estimated to be around 3 inches (8 cm). This shift affected the Earth's rotation speed and slightly changed its shape.
The japan earthquake caused a tilt in the axis of the earth resulting in the shortening of every day by 2 microseconds and it also reduced japan population drastically. By Karan
no...the earthquake did not cause a hole in the earth
The degree of tilt to the Earth caused by the Japanese earthquake in 2011 was estimated to be about 25 centimeters (10 inches). This tilt led to a shift in the Earth's axis by about 10 cm (4 inches), which shortened the length of a day by around 1.8 microseconds.
The earthquake in Japan has moved the earth 25 centimeters(cm) and shortened the day by 1.8microseconds.

No. Malaysia was not affected by the Japan earth quake
The Earth's axial tilt varies between 22.1° and 24.5° with a 42,000 year period, and at present, the tilt is decreasing. The earth is currently tilted on an axis of 23.5 degrees. The amazing thing is every time there is a major earthquake the tilt of the earth changes. NASA just released findings that the recent earthquake in Chile changed the tilt of the earth and shortened our day by 1.26 millionths of a second. Sumatra earthquake in December 2004 shortened the length of a day by 6.8 millionths of a second. So to answer your question... The earth changes tilt constantly but the most recent change was on February 27 2010.
Barely.
The Earth's AXIS changed 10cm after the tragic earthquake
Quake. Earthquake to be exact. A quakeing of the Earth.
Yes, by ten centimeters.
If you mean the Axis of the Earth, yes it did. By 6 degrees.
