    The energy transformation that takes place when you push a pencil off your desk is the gravitational potential energy.

    Explanation:

    The two categories of energy are Kinetic and Potential. Objects that are in motion have kinetic energy. Kinetic energy increase with the increase in mass.

    The stored energy that causes change due to the position or shape of an object is called potential energy.

    Gravitational potential energy of an object depends on the object's height and weight. If a pencil is pushed off from desk, its potential energy gets increased. And if the pencil is lifted higher, its potential energy gets increased more.
