Very technical terms. I was able to get the following translations:
suprayacentes - overlying. quebradiza - brittle .
As mentioned in other answers.
Looking for clues in the words, I see supra (on top of), and quebra (quebrado, broken), as indicators that support the translations.

Also found "yacente" as lying (tumbado); recumbent, reclining - dennywells, Dec 5, 2013
My guess - a layer of brittle, broken rocks laying on top :) - dennywells, Dec 5, 2013

A guess:
Overlaying volcanic rock?? I think the suprayacentes is an overlaying layer any way , the volcanic is guess.

How about 'brittle (upper) crust' if you're talking about the earth that is.
