Which volcanic outcome characterizes mid-ocean ridge divergent boundaries?

💡 Explanation

Fissure eruptions occur because decompression melting under the diverging plates allows magma to rise in extensive fractures creating new basaltic crust, rather than building steep cones, therefore creating basalt plains is correct rather than explosive activity.
