Intonation is the change in pitch of your voice, from high to low, when you speak; “the music” when you speak. We use intonation to indicate questions.

Intonation normally goes down  at the end of an information question.
For example: Where are you from?
Intonation normally goes up   at the end of a yes/no question.
