hydro thermal or gravitational

hydro where the water is evaporated and the steam pushes a turbine that creates energy.

gravitational where the water falling hits and turns a turbine that creates energy

What kind of energy does water gain it travels down a waterfall?

Kinetic Energy.


What kind of energy does water have at the top of a waterfall?

At the top of a waterfall, water has mainly potential energy, which is the energy stored in its position above ground level. This potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the water falls downwards.


What kind of energy transformation happens in a waterfall?

In a waterfall, potential energy from the water at a higher elevation is converted into kinetic energy as the water falls downward. The kinetic energy can then be harnessed to generate electricity using hydroelectric power plants.


What kind of chemical you waterfall?

A waterfall is not a chemical reaction.


What energy transformations occur in a waterfall?

In a waterfall, the potential energy of the water at a higher elevation is transformed into kinetic energy as it falls. This kinetic energy can then be converted into electrical energy if a hydroelectric generator is present at the base of the waterfall, harnessing the energy of the flowing water to produce electricity.


Is a canoe perched at the top of a waterfall potential energy?

Yes. If it was moving down the waterfall, it would would have kinetic energy.


What is the energy conversion of a waterfall?

Dams


What energy conservation's take place when water goes over a waterfall?

When water goes over a waterfall, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as the water falls. Some of the kinetic energy is then converted to sound and heat upon impact with the ground or rocks at the base of the waterfall. Overall, energy is conserved but transformed into various forms during the waterfall process.


Where does the water have its maximum kinetic energy and minimum gravitational energy?

The water has its maximum kinetic energy at the bottom of a waterfall where its velocity is highest. It has minimum gravitational energy at the top of the waterfall before it starts to fall, as it has not yet gained significant potential energy from being at a higher elevation.


What type of energy is located a the top of an waterfall?

Gravitational potential energy.


What is potential energy converted into as water runs over a waterfall?

Potential energy of the water is converted into kinetic energy as it runs over a waterfall, resulting in the movement and force of the flowing water.


Where does the water in a waterfall have the most gravitational potential energy?

The water above receives energy as it falls down the short waterfall. This energy was stored as potential energy in the gravitational field of the Earth and came out of storage as the water dropped. This energy which came out of the gravitational field ended up being expressed as the kinetic energy of the water. That is, the water gains kinetic energy as it drops. An ounce of water is going faster when it hits the bottom of the waterfall than it was when it went over the top of the waterfall.
