Answer:
While In an <em><u>ideal/isolated</u></em> system, as long as the object is not in motion, its potential energy will be the same.
However, <u>potential energy is relative</u>. On Earth, usually, it is measured with respect to gravity. <u>The higher the object, the greater the potential gravitational energy</u>. It's all relative. For the sake of this question, I would assume that potential energy increases.
Explanation:
While kinetic energy depends upon speed, potential energy is always relative to some arbitrary reference point.

I think the second choose, energy to be stored.
Explanation:
Spring tides generally occur twice a month—during new and full moons, when the Earth, Sun, and Moon line up in a row. In this arrangement, the gravities of the Sun and Moon work together and have the strongest pull on Earth. This produces the largest difference between high and low tide.
Spring Tides
During full moon or new moon phases, the gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon are maximized, producing very large ranges of tidal highs and lows called spring tides
-Geographic north and south poles are determined by the earth's spin.
-Magnetic north and south is determined by the direction a compass points.
