Most likely kinetic energy, followed by heat, just about everything turns into heat.

When a sound wave is absorbed its sound energy is changed into what?
It changes into mechanical energy
What is the wave in which amplitude changes to create sound?
The wave in which amplitude changes to create sound is a sound wave. The intensity of the wave will be changed by energy.
What type of wave is absorbed by an object and may disappear?
Maybe a sound wave??
Where does the energy of a wave go when the amplitude of the wave decreases?
If the amplitude decreases the energy in the wave also decreases. The energy that was in the wave before the amplitude was decreased will have been absorbed into the surroundings, be they physical objects in the case of sound waves, or an electrical circuit or light absorbing material, to suggest a few different cases.
What energy conversions occur in a radio?
In a radio you have the conversion of radio wave energy to sound wave energy.

What is the wave in which amplitude changes to create sound?
The wave in which amplitude changes to create sound is a sound wave. The intensity of the wave will be changed by energy.
What does it mean when sound waves are reflected of canyon walls?
It means that the sound wave goes toward the canyon wall, and then a wave carrying part of the energy comes back from the canyon wall. The remaining energy will be absorbed or will pass through.
What type of wave is absorbed by an object and may disappear?
Maybe a sound wave??
What happens to the energy of a sound wave if it is absorbed by a fabric?
Seeing as nobody has answered I will. Im not entirely sure so double check with a physics teacher but once its absorbed the fabric slightly heats up. like 0.0005 degrees. When absorbed reflection of sound is prevented.

Are sound waves in solar energy?
No, sound wave is translating wave of the matter. The solar energy is the wave carried by photon which is an energy (non-matter). There is no way a sound wave would be carried in the stream of photon.
Does sound last forever?
No, sound does not last forever. Sound is mechanical energy that is carried by the medium through which it moves. It eventually is all absorbed, both by the medium (which is not 100% efficient) and by the things that the wave encounters. Any interaction sound has with its medium and with other things that it interacts with strip energy out of the wave. At some point, it is all gone.
What energy conversions occur in a radio?
In a radio you have the conversion of radio wave energy to sound wave energy.
What are examples of wave Energy?
sound energy
Is a mechanical wave a sound wave?
Yes, a sound wave is a mechanical wave. Sound waves need a medium (like air) to travel through. The energy of the wave, the mechanical energy, is transferred into the medium through which it is propagated.
What is the source of energy for a sound wave?
The source of energy for sound waves are vibrations.
