Are eruptions at a divergent boundary explosive?

Eruptions at divergent boundaries are typically not explosive. These eruptions occur as tectonic plates pull apart, allowing magma to rise and flow more easily, resulting in effusive eruptions characterized by the outpouring of lava. The magma at divergent boundaries is usually low in gas content and has a low viscosity, which contributes to the gentle nature of the eruptions. Examples include the formation of mid-ocean ridges, where lava creates new oceanic crust.
