## Caption

How much energy does a megaquake actually release?

A magnitude 8+ earthquake can unleash an almost unimaginable amount of energy — comparable to more than 30,000 Hiroshima atomic bombs or the kinetic energy of one million fully loaded freight trains.

And at magnitude 9, tectonic plates can shift 10 to 50 meters in seconds.

When the shaking starts, would you know what to do?
