gravitational kinetic energy
altitude potential energy
gravitational potential energy

When a person walks up a hill, their height above the ground (in a gravitational - field) increases. Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object has due to its position in a gravitational field. Kinetic energy is related to motion, not position in this context. And there is no such thing as altitude kinetic energy or gravitational kinetic energy in standard physics terms, and "altitude potential energy" is not a standard term. The correct term is gravitational potential energy.
