Geomagnetic and auroral storms provide a great deal of detailed information on the interaction between the solar plasma flows and the magnetosphere. Vast numbers of observations have been accumulated, and many theories have been developed to explain them. However, many of the most vital features of the interaction remain unsolved. The purpose of this paper is to provide the background for future work by summarizing fundamental morphological data and by reviewing critically the proposed theories. The paper consists of four sections. In the first section, the structure of the solar plasma flows and the magnetosphere are briefly discussed. Effects of the direct impact of the plasma flows on the magnetosphere are described in Section 2. Both Sections 3 and 4 are devoted to the discussion of the major phase of geomagnetic storms, namely the formation of the asymmetric ring current belt and the development of the auroral and polar magnetic substorms, respectively.
