As far as veins splitting in 2 directions --> well let's put it this way. DEEP undergroun the maximum stress (force) experienced by rock is due to the wieght of the overlying rock. To relieve this stress the rock fractures in a direction other than the maximum stress (generally but not always). Coming closer to the ground surface the direction of highest stress is "sideways" (or in the x-i x-direction), thus rock fracturing direction changes. Thus, new fractures develope as well. Veins are types of fractures. Fluid travels thru the fractures and material is participated out thus resulting in the formation of veins. I don't know anything else about HGM though. Warm Regards, Michelle
