How does the rock cycle and plate tectonics interfere with geochemists trying to determine the age of the Earth? Chose the best answer.

The rock cycle and plate tectonics cause Earth to lose its outer layer every one billion years as it creates new crust.


The rock cycle and plate tectonics cause Earth's rocks to break down over time and they are recycled through natural processes.


The rock cycle and plate tectonics cause Earth's original rocks to be buried deep in the ocean where they cannot be discovered.
