Oceanic crust sinks beneath continental crust, because it is dense.

Oceanic crust forms from hot magma rising to Earth's surface at divergent plate boundaries... ... Ocean water can be trapped in ocean crust, contributing to its density. Because ocean crust is more dense than continental crust, it will sink beneath continents if tectonic forces push the oceanic crust into the continent.

So the answer would be less, I think.

since the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus, as we move to the left on the periodic table, the electrostatic pull between the nucleus and the valence electron shell decreases. as we move down a group (vertical column), the valence shell energy level gets further and further from the nucleus.

because of all the things that happen around the us, many people get into arguments which sadly could get physical, but we should actually make a change for that.
