OK, that took a while. The consensus seems to be that the overall convergence rate is roughly 40-50 mm/year as you say, with the value reducing from east to west. The regional information page from the ANSS source gives 38 mm/year
see here for Kashmir, so it is at least a possibility that 73 is actually a typo for 37 - the USGS are not infallible.

Mikenorton thanks for correcting this. Yes, seems like that is what happened here. These numbers were too far apart. I was concerned that we were disseminating wrong info. Glad this is sorted. Regards. --DBigXrayᗙ05:48, 28 September 2019 (UTC)reply
I see that we have another change in name. I started this article as the
2019 Pakistan earthquake, not being sure how to handle the Kashmir area, but it was stable for a while as "2019 Kashmir earthquake". I can't see any good reason to change it to its current title.

User:MJL Thanks for reverting this undiscussed move. For the record, It was
brought up at
WP:ERRORS before and the current consensus is to use " 2019 Kashmir earthquake" as a stable, factual and neutral title. The quake happened in Kashmir (both Indian and Pakistani areas). "2019 Pakistan earthquake" is not appropriate because it infers that the quake only happened in the Pakistani area, which is factually incorrect.--DBigXrayᗙ06:07, 10 November 2019 (UTC)reply
