    27,000

    Explanation:

    The provided statement talks about an estimate of energy release by an Earthquake with a magnitude of 4 to a magnitude of 7. According to the statement, for the moment magnitude scale, 31.5 times more energy is released with increase of one magnitude scale. Therefore, if we take a rounded value of 31.5 as 30 and multiply it three times (30 X 30 X 30) to represent 3 scales (4 to 7) on moment magnitude scale, we will get 27,000 times more energy.
