You would be most likely to find the oldest rocks on Earth in the middle of the continents. This is because continental crust is generally older and more stable compared to oceanic crust, which is constantly being renewed at mid-ocean ridges. The oldest rocks are often found in cratons, which are the ancient, stable parts of the continental crust.
