9.0 is a super big under water it even worst then on land waves can ripe out whole beach areas like crazy and a lot of time there no warning it coming if it hit really fast.
3.5 is like a knock on the door 5.0 house will shake some, 7-8 houses and roads ways can be knock down and some area the ground will sink wholes houses under 8.5 and up whole city's will be can be rip apart by it.
9.0 under the water (out in sea) lower it is (deep-sea bottom) the bigger the wave will be, if it way out from land the waves can be really higher when it hit land. 9.0 is really super bad earth quake.

By CNN:
The world's most powerful earthquake in more than 40 years struck deep under the Indian Ocean off the west coast of Sumatra, triggering massive tsunamis that obliterated villages and seaside resorts in several countries across southern and Southeast Asia.
Tourists, fishermen, homes and cars were swept away by walls of water that rolled across the Bay of Bengal, unleashed by the 9-magnitude quake.
