This is known as the magnitude of the earthquake.
The energy released during a 7.0 earthquake is equivalent to about 32 million pounds of TNT, which is a massive amount of energy. The destruction caused by such an earthquake can be widespread and devastating.
The energy is known in Joules and it can be compared to the explosive energy of TNT.
The magnitude of an earthquake is caluated to measure the amount of energy released during the earthquake.
The degree to which people feel an earthquake is called its intensity, while the amount of damage it causes is known as its magnitude. Intensity is based on human observations and perception, whereas magnitude is measured by seismographs and represents the energy released by the earthquake.
The rating system that estimates the total energy released by an earthquake is called the moment magnitude scale (Mw).

The total amount of energy released by an earthquake is called seismic energy. This energy is primarily generated by the abrupt release of stress accumulated along geological faults. It is commonly measured using the moment magnitude scale (Mw), which provides a more accurate representation of an earthquake's size than traditional scales. The seismic energy can be felt as shaking and can cause damage depending on its magnitude and depth.
The word Magnitude is used to described the amount of energy released when an Earthquake occurs
In terms of the maximum amount of energy released, an earthquake is stronger.

The origin of an earthquake is called the hypocenter or focus. This is the point within the Earth where the earthquake begins and energy is released.
The energy released during a 7.0 earthquake is equivalent to about 32 million pounds of TNT, which is a massive amount of energy. The destruction caused by such an earthquake can be widespread and devastating.
The word used to describe the amount of energy released by an earthquake is "magnitude." This is typically measured using the Richter scale or the moment magnitude scale.
The energy is known in Joules and it can be compared to the explosive energy of TNT.
