How coronal holes propel supersonic solar wind?

How coronal holes propel supersonic solar wind?

Coronal holes are dark regions on the Sun seen in extreme ultraviolet and X-ray images. These areas have lower density and temperature and are key sources of fast-moving solar wind streams. While these streams don’t cause the strongest geomagnetic storms—those come from coronal mass ejections—they do trigger more frequent, medium-strength storms, which may contribute more
