Best Answer

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

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.


What form of energy is the energy of motion as in wind or a waterfall?

That is called kinetic energy - which means, precisely, energy of motion.
