Thermal energy. Entropy goes maximum. Order goes minimum. Temperature is the same everywhere.
All form of energy would eventually convert to heat, largest heat sink in the universe is space. Earth continue losing heat to space by radiation heat transfer. Absolute temperature of space is slightly higher than 0 K.
Examples of energy being changed from one form to another include: solar energy being converted to electricity through solar panels, chemical energy in food being converted to mechanical energy in our muscles, and electrical energy being converted to light and heat in a lightbulb.
The rate at which electrical energy is changed to other forms of energy depends on the efficiency of the system converting the energy. In most cases, some energy is lost as heat during the conversion process, so not all electrical energy is transformed into the desired form of energy. These losses are typically accounted for by calculating the energy efficiency of the system.
Some of the energy used to overcome friction is converted into heat due to the resistance between surfaces. This heat energy is typically considered wasted since it is not used to perform useful work.
The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed from one form to another. This means that the total amount of energy in a closed system remains constant over time.
potential energy is the form of energy
All the energy on Earth comes from the Sun. All the energy that Earth uses is either stored as "potential energy" or radiated away as heat.

No, thermal energy is the last form of energy degradation. All energy will eventually transformed to thermal energy. Even the motion of wave (kinetic energy) would eventually loss through shear and friction and transformed to thermal energy.
All energy eventually turns into heat

It's true that energy is never destroyed-- whan you use up a source of energy, you simply convert it to another form. When gas is burned in a car, for example, it turns from chemical energy to thermal and kinetic energy, which is then converted into sound, and eventually thermal energy in the form of friction.

Not entirely. The Second Law of Thermodynamics causes some limitations. Mainly, once energy is in the form of heat energy, only part of it can be converted to other forms of energy.
