How local attraction affect the use of prismatic compass survey?
Local attractions such as buildings or metal objects can affect the accuracy of a prismatic compass survey by causing magnetic interference. This interference can lead to errors in compass readings and, consequently, inaccurate survey measurements. To minimize these effects, surveyors should identify and account for local attractions during their surveys, employing techniques such as taking multiple readings and using a declination correction.

How does magnetic field affect a compass?
The earth's magnetic field acts upon the magnetic material of the compass needle, causing it to align to the field. Thus, the compass appears to point North, which is "magnetic north". Magnetic north and "true north" are about 300 miles apart.

How could magnetic rocks affect a compass and why?
In a regular magnetic compass, the needle is a magnet. One end is the south pole and the other end is the north pole. Magnets are affected by other magnets. If a magnet is placed near a magnetic compass, the north pole of the compass's needle is attracted by the south pole of the magnet, and the south pole of the compass's needle is attracted by the north pole of the magnet.
