Is this a real earthquake?

Out of boredom, I was watching a playthrough of a game I played as a kid called Turtle Odyssey, since I'm making a profile for Ozzy, the main character. One of the game's bosses has the ability to seemingly shake the whole temple hard enough to cause rocks to fall down (likely fragments of the ceiling) by striking the hilt of his trident against the ground.

Could this be evidence of an actual earthquake, since the place shook violently enough for the ceiling to fall down? If not, then how should I go about calculating this? I was thinking about combining the total volume of the rocks and applying fragmentation, or using the mass of an actual temple and applying KE to it shaking. The latter seems out, as I'm struggling to find a good value for that on google search.
