A hydrothermal vent is a fissure in the seafloor that releases geothermally heated water. These vents are found in areas of tectonic activity, such as mid-ocean ridges, and support unique ecosystems that thrive in the extreme conditions created by the hot, mineral-rich water.
A vein of silver forms from a solution by vein minerals that form in fissures in the existing rock, either thru deposition by mineral saturated hydrothermal fluids, or injection of magma and subsequent cooling.

A vein in rock is a line that contains another mineral besides the larger percentage of what the rock is made up of. A vein, for example, could be a vein of coal in a coal mine. Coal is extracted out of the rock.

A dike is a tabular body of intrusive rock that cuts across pre-existing rock layers, while a vein deposit is a narrow, linear fracture filled with minerals that are precipitated from hydrothermal fluids. Dikes are igneous in origin, whereas vein deposits are often associated with hydrothermal mineralization.
