Alright, so, this will be a rough calc, treating the mountain range as a solid rectangle of stone. Of course, this is hardly on point, but it's the best I've got.

So, Fragmentation is our level of destruction

The mountains are 1,500-1,750 meters tall, and the range is 300^2 KM.

So, 300^2 is 90,000 KM, KM to meters is 90000000 meters.

For a low end, times 1,500. For a mid end, 1,625. For a high end, 1,750.

135000000000, 146250000000, and 157500000000 respectively.

He said to use fragmentation, and the fragmentation value for stone is 8J/CC, 8 joules per centimeter.

So, convert to Centimeters, 13500000000000, 14625000000000, and 15750000000000 respectively.

Now, we'll multiply by 8 to get our Low, Mid, and High end.

Low end: 1.08e+14 Joules, 25.8311408753886 Kilotons, Town Level

Mid end: 1.17e+14 Joules, 27.9837359483377 Kilotons, Town Level

High end: 1.26e+14 Joules, 30.1363310212867 Kilotons, Town Level

Not too bad, but, the Earthquake part of his request would probably get higher.

Of course the only method I am able to use requires way, way too much work for me to ever use again.
