The amount of energy involved is exactly equivalent to the mass of displaced water dropped from a height of whatever their depth was (in a vacuum). Several tons of water (given that the volume was several cubic meters) dropped from a couple of kilometers up.

At a certain energy scale, it really doesn’t matter what the materials are. The end result is just a roughly homogeneous mass of the component molecules.
