If you do not know the seismic source’s depth, you can assume it is a source that is parallel to earth’s surface with depth equal to average depth of whole earthquakes inside that source. This means that depth will be the same for all source vertexes.

Should I use the negative symbol (-) before the depth number (regardless of the case)?

Depth values (in km) must be provided always as positive numbers. A negative depth would mean events above earth’s surface.
