The concept of geomagnetic storm-producing solar plasma flows has evolved and advanced considerably over the last 100 years or so. This particular field of study began in an effort to understand geomagnetic disturbances and the aurora. The purpose of this paper is try to follow the ways in which early concepts evolved to later ones, not to review each concept in detail. It is fascinating to see a step-by-step buildup of these concepts, from the earliest idea of flow of solar electrons to coronal mass ejections (CMEs). The time line, though tentative, of the studies of geomagnetic storm-producing plasma flows is presented. The author hopes that this paper will serve young researchers in particular to consider how they plan to advance further this scientific field. There is still much uncertainty about geomagnetic storm-producing solar plasma flows. Some of the major questions are listed from the point of view of a geophysicist in the summary sections by grouping them in terms of the quiet-time solar wind, solar streams from corona holes and CMEs associated with solar flares.
