The Earth's axis was not tilted during the Haiti Earthquake. The earthquake occurred due to the movement of tectonic plates along a fault line beneath the Earth's surface, causing the ground to shake. This movement did not affect the tilt of the Earth's axis.
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 Chile earthquake, powerful as it was, was not nearly powerful enough to tilt the earth. If you imagine a large bell in a cathedral and you hit that bell with a spoon, that is about the effect that an earthquake has on the earth as a whole. It caused some MAJOR destruction and caused Chile to pay millions for the damage, and many people were killed or injured.
The largest earth quake measured 9.5 in Chilli.

The Chile earthquake did not make the Earth "speed up"
The Earth is tilted on its axis causing the change in seasons. At 36 degrees Celsius in Santiago, Chile, it is likely experiencing summer in the Southern Hemisphere, meaning the Earth is tilted towards the Sun in that region.
By plate Tectonics
because earthquakes are to do with the earth
no...the earthquake did not cause a hole in the earth
The Chile earthquake gave tsunami warnings and destroyed an entire city, which killed over 300 people in total. It had a great impact on the earth's surface; by destroying it.
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.
That is the cause of the seasons.
