And this is the other nodal plane, a shallow, south-dipping fault plane with a surface trace located to the north.

Data (left), model (center) and residual (right) displacements of the September 2023 Morocco earthquake. Fault plane is a black rectangle, projected surface fault trace is a blue line. This model is of a shallow, southward-dipping fault plane.

There is very little difference in misfit between these models (the steep, north-dipping model fits very slightly better). This is common with blind thrusts in InSAR data, and means we probably need some additional information to distinguish between the two possibilities...
