This question is related with the definition of what is temperature regarding the movement of molecules. This of course translates to kinetic energy but that would mean that the Earths rotation, translation, etc should be considered as KEdavenn said:I suspect that isn't correct
Consider why it might be so
Edit
Actually, thinking about it, there's 2 possibilities for why it would be warmer at the bottom ...
This question was correctly answered for you yesterday in your other thread -- what you are saying is not correct. Please just accept the answer instead of starting a new thread to try to make the answer go away.

The temperature at the bottom of a waterfall is typically higher due to the friction and turbulence caused by the falling water. As the water hits the surface below, it creates energy in the form of heat, which can cause the temperature to rise.
Yes, the height of a waterfall can play a role in the temperature at the bottom. The higher the waterfall, the more energy and heat will be created as the water falls and hits the surface below.
No, the temperature at the bottom of a waterfall can vary depending on factors such as the height and flow of the waterfall, as well as the surrounding environment. It may also be affected by the time of day and weather conditions.
Yes, the temperature at the bottom of a waterfall can be measured using a thermometer or other temperature sensing devices. However, it may be difficult to get an accurate reading due to the constantly changing environment and conditions at the bottom of a waterfall.
The temperature at the bottom of a waterfall can have a cooling effect on the surrounding area, especially on hot days. The mist and spray from the waterfall can also help to lower the temperature and provide relief from the heat. However, in colder climates, the temperature at the bottom of a waterfall may contribute to the formation of ice and icicles.
