Earthquakes do not have mass as such. Rather they have magnitude and intensity. Magnitude is the amount of energy released by the earthquake so should ultimately have units in joules.
Both earthquake magnitude and intensity can be estimated from the amplitude of seismic waves as recorded on a seismometer.
