Machine translation, like DeepL or Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must follow the LLM translation guideline, revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.
Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.

A depocenter or depocentre in geology is the part of a sedimentary basin where a particular rock unit has its maximum thickness.[1] Depending on the controls on subsidence and the sedimentary environment, the location of a basin's depocenter may vary with time, such as in active rift basins as extensional faults grow, link or become abandoned.[2]
