= Geomagnetic storms
{wiki=Geomagnetic_storms}
Geomagnetic storms are disturbances in the Earth's magnetosphere caused by changes in solar wind and solar activity, such as coronal mass ejections (CMEs) or solar flares. These storms can affect the Earth's magnetic field and can lead to various effects both in space and on the surface. \#\#\# Causes 1. **Solar Wind**: The continuous flow of charged particles from the Sun creates the solar wind. Variations in speed, density, and magnetic orientation can induce geomagnetic storms.
