radiation belt -- aurora
radiation belt -- aurora

coronal mass ejection -- geomagnetic storm
coronal mass ejection -- geomagnetic storm

solar wind -- interplanetary magnetic field

Answer 1

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

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

These relationships illustrate how solar events like coronal mass ejections can lead to geomagnetic storms, which in turn can cause auroras to occur in the Earth's atmosphere.
