Question

1. the local dam had a much larger amount of pressure built up against it after a huge storm. water levels were at the highest point anyone had ever seen. potential energy kinetic energy

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy an object has due to its position or state. In this case, the water at a high level behind the dam has potential energy because of its height (position) and the pressure built up (related to its potential to do work when released). Kinetic energy is energy of motion, and the water here isn't described as moving significantly (just at a high level with pressure), so potential energy applies.

Answer:

POTENTIAL ENERGY
