Detailed Solution

The smaller occurrences of minerals in igneous and metamorphic rocks are called veins. Minerals can be found in igneous and metamorphic rocks, cracks, fissures, faults, and joints. The smaller occurrences are known as veins, while the larger occurrences of minerals are known as lodes. They are generated when minerals in liquid/molten and gaseous forms are driven upward via cavities towards the earth's surface. As they rise, they cool and solidify. Tin, copper, zinc, and lead, among other metals, are extracted from veins and lodes.
