What is produced when particles from the Sun interact with the North and South Poles of the Earth?s magnetic field?

Question on my HW - and I have no idea. Looking thru the book with no help.
Thanks !

North Pole: Aurora Borealis ..i.e. The Northern Lights
South Pole: Aurora Australis

Another thing created by energetic particles and Earth's magnetic field is the Van Allen radiation belts in between the Earth and the Moon.
