The particles that are usually in a much higher energy usually comes from the magnetic field of the Earth in which it is trapped consisting the Van Allen radiation belts. In addition to that, these radiation belts are somewhat essential because it protects satellites orbiting the Earth from the Sun's high energy radiation.
It gets quieter as the sound waves have to travel further and so the volume decreases
Gravitational Potential Energy, GPE = mgh
Where m is your mass in kg, g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², and h is the height in m.
The only value that be controlled here is the height h. The mass is constant, and acceleration due to gravity at that place is constant.
But h can be varied.
Hence to increase the gravitational potential energy between yourself and Earth is to increase the height h.
This can be done by climbing up a table, or climbing up a building through the stairs, or by using a lift.
I think potential but im not sure
