The two correct responses that describe a realistic cause-effect relationship between solar weather and Earth's magnetosphere are:

  1. geomagnetic storm -- aurora
  2. coronal mass ejection -- geomagnetic storm

Both of these relationships accurately reflect how solar events can impact Earth's magnetic environment and lead to phenomena such as auroras.
