    already I have told..In ore deposit geology, hypogene processes occur deep below the earth's surface, and tend to form deposits of primary minerals, as opposed to supergene processes that occur at or near the surface, and tend to form secondary minerals. Minerals formed in this way are called primary, or hypogene, minerals.

    The term hypogene is mainly used in the field of ore geology. It describes mineralization within and below the Earth’s crust that is caused by ascending thermal fluids which derive from a magmatic source. Hypogene also often refers to primary, unaltered ore that formed directly from thermal aqueous solutions that derived from great depths

    but hypogene means primary unaltered deposits. here ascending fluid is stated so shouldn't it be stratiform which is a type of hydrothermal deposits ( forms by ascending fluids)

    eduncle-logo-app

    it can be but ascending term is best suited to hypogene where as supergene to descending ..,.if you encounter multiple question answer it can be taken as answer
