>>To put things in perspective, a magnitude 6.0 quake releases approximately as much energy as 6,270 tons of TNT. Kick it up a notch, to a magnitude 7.0, and you get the energy equivalent of 199,000 tons of dynamite. The real whoppers, though, are spectacularly more powerful: A magnitude 8.0 quake releases as much energy as 6.27 million tons of TNT and a magnitude 9.0 – almost unheard of -- 99 million tons. <<

The Indian Ocean event was a magnitude 9+ earthquake.
