During recent years much new information has been obtained on the state of the region of formation of the supersonic flow of the solar wind, the transition region situated at a distance of 10 to 20 solar radii from the Sun. These data are used in a study of the responses of solar wind velocity at great distances from the sun and the K(p) index to the temporal dynamics of the transition region. A comparison of all available data reveals the principal features of the dynamics of the transition region of circumsolar plasma:P the main geometrical characteristics of the transition region, its inner and outer boundaries. A particular case is examined for which the transition region was situated at a distance or = 32 solar radii from the Sun. It is shown that there is a correlation between the geometry of the transition region and the geomagnetic activity level: the closer the transition region is to the Sun, the higher the geomagnetic activity level. The temporal changes in the geometry of the transition region reveal a correlation with solar wind flow, with v(eff), and with the K(p) index. These data may be useful in predicting geomagnetic activity, possibly 6 to 7 days in advanced in comparison with 1 to 2 days when using routine observations of scintillations in regions remote from the Sun.
