This is one of the most worstly worded questions i have ever heard in my entire life.
++ That answer's no advertisement for good grammar either! :-)
The water above the fall has potential mechanical energy which converts to kinetic energy as the water drops. On striking the rock or water at the bottom, a lot of that energy is dissipated as sound and heat (though you may not think the latter if you've bathed in a river!).
What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
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 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.

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
Is the transfer of energy called?
The transfer of energy is called Energy Transfer

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

What is the term for the transfer of energy between systems?
The term for the transfer of energy between systems is called "energy transfer."
