The advent of earth-orbiting white light coronagraphs on OSO 7 and Skylab made it possible to establish the existence of transient mass ejections from the corona on a firm basis, and the term coronal mass ejections was coined. The present study is concerned with the CMEs, taking into account questions regarding loop or bubble characteristics. A brief phenomenological survey is conducted, giving attention to CMEs, interplanetary shock waves, and the correlations between CMEs and shocks. The topology of shock disturbances is considered along with the topology of CMEs, the driver mechanism of CMEs, and the propagation of shocks into the heliosphere. It is pointed out that the real cause for the onset of a CME is still not clear. The energy of CMEs stems from the coronal magnetic field energy reservoir, while the evolution of a CME probably involves magnetic reconnection. At least two different types of CMEs may exist.
