Earth's surface is considered "young" because there are very few visible impact craters. Describe at least three causes/processes responsible for Earth having so few impact craters relative to the "older" surface of the Moon, despite throughout geological history having been impacted at the same rate.

Jupiter has much more mass which pulls in the asteroids and some will burn r=in the earths atmosphere and the moon has no atmosphere so it gets hit more.
