Why do the hills of a coaster decrease in height throughout the ride?

The hills in the track of a roller coaster gradually decline in height due to the speed and friction the train of the coaster is receiving. As the friction of the tracks affect the train, it begins to lose its momentum. The heights of the hills decrease so the train can successfully make it from start to finish.

Why do roller coasters have loops and hills?
A roller coaster uses energy stored in the height of the cars. as the car falls lower, it picks up speed, as it gets higher, the speed falls away. With each loop and ramp, a little of the energy is lost due to friction and so the car will never be able to get back up to its original height. Therefore, the loops of the roller coaster will be built to be progressively lower throughout the ride, allowing the car to climb to the top of each ramp and still have enough kinetic energy to make it to the next downward slope.
