In addition to the other answers given, I suspect find . -name "*.tar.gz"
-exec tar xzf {} \; would do what you want too.

Hi Gabriel:
Since no one else has responded, I will give it a shot.
Offhand I would say that it is executing one tar command with
all the tarballs on the one command line. The first one is
used as the tarball and the rest are used as filenames to be
extracted from the tarball.
Try the followin
find . -name "*.tar.gz" -print0 | xargs -0 tar xzf
doesn't do what i would think it should do
instead it returns the list of tar.gz files with the error:
tar: ./filename0.tar.gz: not found in archive
tar: ./filename1.tar.gz: not found in archive
tar: ./filename2.tar.gz: not found in arch
