From man pages on centos 7
-t, --type type
Specify the type of filesystem to be built. If not specified, the default filesystem type (currently ext2) is used.
mkfs without any option creates ext2 filesystem
If you don't specify the filesystem type for the target device, it will use the default ext2 filesystem.
sudo mkfs /dev/sdb1

I have tried on my ubuntu and what it creates by default is an ext2 partition
