So I was wondering, if you survive being at the epicenter of a blast that creates a planetary quake that agitates the crust, where you just hop up off the ground backwards with no damage, what magnitude would that be?

These may help:

Assuming it's of course, an Earth-like planet.

On a semi-related topic, this may provide SOME insight:

As the video says, a Magnitude 10 would have a ruptured faultline 3,500 km long, & a Magnitude 11 would create a fault that went halfway around the world.

It's uncertain just what kind of destruction you mean by "a blast that crates[sic] a planetary quake that agitates the crust" (No offense meant.), but by the range alone, I'd assume it could be somewhere in that range. But I'm not 100% certain, & not a Calc Group Member.

This quake from the blast IS shown to noticeably affect the whole planet, right?

Anyway, hopefully some of these resources help.

Thanks, to clarify, it is akin to mining equipment such as dynomite or pistons which cause blasts or shockwaves, and the result are seismic disturbances that agitates the crust of the planet and breaks down the mantle slowly.
