What does "blow away" or "blow off" a mountain in one attack mean in terms of calcs?

It shouldn't just be fragmentation right? I mean we're talking about making a mountain blown away with an explosion.
 
It shouldn't just be fragmentation, correct, one could go the KE route for this.

Problem is, you need timeframe to get the speed for KE.

what if i don't? Can i assume some speed? 1 second? 5 seconds? 10? 30?

Usually, you can't assume any timeframe unless you know the situation and the intensity of the event. And even then, chances are it could be inaccurate.
 
Gigalith blows it away, not blows it up. It should be moving, not fragmentation
Doesn't matter, you need a timeframe to latch onto to use KE.

Also I'm pretty sure a mountain being blown away would eventually be torn apart by the high-speed movement as is common with fiction. Not like the mountain would remain intact after this.

i've seen your comment in the calc blog. What do you suggest we do then?
