español term

medianamente intemperizados

español al inglés Técnico/Ingeniería Geología
This is part of a geology report. The whole paragraph is below. Any help would be much appreciated with this term. Thanks a lot!

Hacia el extremo del nacimiento de la quebrada, desde la zona de las vetas hacia arriba, se desarrollan granodioritas – granitos de quimismo alcalino, rosados, ***medianamente intemperizados*** y también atravesados por enrejados de venillas milimétricas de cuarzo, según la observación de bloques caídos quebrada abajo.

Hi Mike, if it's any help to you I found this bilingual document where it gives "weathered rocks" for "rocas intemporizadas" ... http://redalyc.uaemex.mx/redalyc/pdf/480/48003116.pdf

Note from asker:
Hi Terry, thanks for your reply. I was thinking this as well - it could well be, but "meteorizado" appears everywhere else in the document for weathering.
Peer comment(s):

agree Enrique Espinosa : Weathered means meteorizado or intemperizado
