-
A.
potential energy raises the water temperature
-
B.
water absorbs latent heat from the atmosphere
-
C.
kinetic energy is changed intyo internal energy
-
D.
dropping mass of water increases the heat capacity
-
E.
A and C above
Correct Answer: Option E
Explanation
The water at the bottom of a waterfall is warmer than at the top because the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy during the fall increases the water's internal energy and temperature.
