Term: Substorm
Definition:

A release of magnetic energy that originates in Earth's magnetotail, drawing on energy funneled there from the solar wind and other solar events. Substorms are fairly common and when they release energy toward Earth, the energy flows down the magnetic field lines toward Earth's north and south poles, causing aurora.
