I am studying in tenth .....so i would prefer an answer in simple language. The only thing i know about lodes and veins is that lodes are bigger while veins are smaller cracks.

Answer 1

A lode deposit is a tabular-shaped deposit between definite boundaries. A lode may consist of several veins spaced closely together. A vein is a fissure or crack in a rock filled by minerals which were transported in by fluids.
