The two correct answers regarding how the solar wind affects Earth's magnetosphere are:

  1. Cause geomagnetic storms.
  2. Push energy and particles into Earth's magnetic field.

These interactions can lead to various phenomena, including auroras, disruptions in satellite operations, and fluctuations in radio communications. The other options, while related to Earth's environment, do not directly describe effects of the solar wind on the magnetosphere.
