It has been discussed by who, it's the first time I read of something like this?
I don't think it's possible that an earthquake can change Earth's orbit.
To change the orbit of any object a force must be applied to it, not inside it. As the expanding gas from a rocket applies a force to the rocket or an asteroid hitting another asteroid will apply a force to it, only something that would apply a force to Earth could change Earth's orbit.
The Earth, as far as I know, is not like a bus (for example) that rocks from side to side when the people inside it move from one side to the other. There is nothing "shaking" inside Earth.
And if something strong enough to make a change in the Earth's orbit would happen then we will be all dead and would not see the results of the change.
PS: Sorry if my explanation is a bit mixed up, I am a little tired and I think that I may be making incoherent sentences.



) is an unproven thing.
