The correct response to why it is difficult for scientists to locate the oldest rocks on Earth is: **Rocks are constantly eroded by weather.**
Weathering and erosion can wear away old rocks, making them harder to find. Additionally, geological processes such as plate tectonics can also bury or recycle older rocks, further complicating the search for the oldest rock formations.
