A reflex is involuntary however, other actions are voluntary in nature


A reflex action is an involuntary and almost instantaneous movement  in response to a stimulus. It usually does not require any thought or input and therefore does not directly involve the brain.

The path taken  by the nerve impulses in a reflex action is called a reflex arc. Most reflex arcs involve three neurons. There are two types of reflex arcs namely autonomic reflex arc which involves the inner organs of the body, and somatic reflex arc, which involves muscles.

Magnetism is a class of physical phenomena that are mediated by magnetic fields. Electric currents and the magnetic moments of elementary particles give rise to a magnetic field, which acts on other currents and magnetic moments.The Earth's magnetic field is somewhat caused by the composition of the earth's core which is rich in iron minerals. There is a solid inner core that is made of iron which makes up to 2/3 of the moon's size. The charged metal of the iron produces electric currents, consequently resulting to Earth's magnetic field.
