I was wondering how much energy is required to destroy Mars' Olympus Mons.
I would like it if anyone can help me

Huh, somewhat old question here...
Definitely gonna need him for this, yeah.
It is a pretty big mountain than even Mt. Everest, so i'm thinking it's like Large Mountain tier roughly just by reading about it and eyeballing it. Though that depends on whether it's just pulverizing it, vaporizing, or whatever. Of course i can't determine it, so i'm just guessing of what it can be at least assuming you're just breaking it in one attack.

Id say pulverize, and note that Olympus Mons is almost the size of France

@T023: Oh yeah, that's right. I read about it on wikipedia online, but i only accounted for the height of it alone. Not the width of it.
@Sera: Ah, yeah. Looking at it, it could easily be either of those tiers. But a sort of quick calc or otherwise should help it better to properly determine it.

Sorry for being late, been very busy lately. I can't find an exact estimatation on the volume of the Volcano but I found this:
https://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/atlas/olympus-mons.html
"The largest of the volcanoes in the Tharsis Montes region, as well as all known volcanoes in the solar system, is Olympus Mons. Olympus Mons is a shield volcano 624 km (374 mi) in diameter (approximately the same size as the state of Arizona), 25 km (16 mi) high, and is rimmed by a 6 km (4 mi) high scarp. A caldera 80 km (50 mi) wide is located at the summit of Olympus Mons. To compare, the largest volcano on Earth is Mauna Loa. Mauna Loa is a shield volcano 10 km (6.3 mi) high and 120 km (75 mi) across. The volume of Olympus Mons is about 100 times larger than that of Mauna Loa. In fact, the entire chain of Hawaiian islands (from Kauai to Hawaii) would fit inside Olympus Mons!"
Luckilly, Mauna Loa has a valculated volume. It is 40,000 km^3
40,000 * 100 = 4,000,000 km^3
4,000,000 * 1,000,000,000,000,000 = 4,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 cm^3
4,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 * 214.35 = 8.574e+23 J
204.9 Teratons of TNT.
Big rock.

Nah it's all good, man.
Did you check the one from over at Wikipedia and, if so, was there any detail you couldn't get of this there?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympus_Mons
Large Country value though~ Nice~
Thanks a lot, man.
