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 disturbances from the sun can affect Earth’s magnetic environment, leading to phenomena like geomagnetic storms and auroras.
