pukotina koja nastaje brzinom većom od smičnih valova / pukotina nadsmične brzine
Explanation:
Znam da nije baš praktično, ali u biti imam tri prijedloga. Koliko vidim, ne postoji hrvatski termin. Zato, ako prevodite tekst za laike, predlažem ovu prvu "kobasicu", koja je prijevod opisnog karaktera, a ako je riječ o stručnom tekstu, možda bi stručnjaku izraz "supershear pukotina" bio jasan.

Na kraju, postoji i mogućnost uvođenja novog termina, "pukotina nadsmične brzine"

super-šireća pukotina


Explanation:
Definicija:
A supershear earthquake is an earthquake in which the propagation of the rupture along the fault surface occurs at speeds in excess of the seismic shear wave velocity. This causes a form of sonic boom to occur.[1]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supershear_earthquake
hrv: Supersnažni potres je potres u kojem se širenje pukotine (rupture) duž rasjedne površine događa pri brzinama većim od brzine seizmičkih valova. To dovodi do strahovite eksplozije stvaranjem zvučnog udara/šoka.

neutral  Mira Stepanovic: "seismic shear wave"=seizmički posmični val;pitanje je "supershear rupture" te to nije "super-snažni potres" niti "super-šireća" pukotina;"supershear" ovde znači "brzinom većom od brz. posmičnih valova" (kao npr. supersonic=nadzvučni)

neutral  Mira Stepanovic: No, both ref. sentences (Slovene & Croatian) were obviously obtained by machine translation of the EN text, this is the CR text on earthquakes on Wikipedia: http://hr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potres Slovenian: http://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potres I am sure :-)

agree  Mira Stepanovic: To bi bio smisao; najpribližnije en. izrazu bi bilo "nadsmična pukotina" (ne: pukotina nadsmične brzine) ali referenci iz ove oblasti nažalost nema na ex-Yu jezicima; samo mala korekcija: pukotina koja nastaje brzinom većom od brzine smičnih valova

  -> Puno hvala, u potpunosti se slažem s vama. Cilj mi je bio da značenje bude jasno. Pozdrav!
