Baseboard hot water heat is an example of _ heat.

Forced air
Natural draft
Hydronic
Geothermal

The correct answer is: Natural draft

Baseboard hot water heat is an example of natural draft heat. Natural draft heating systems rely on the natural buoyancy of hot air to create airflow through the system. In a baseboard hot water heating system, the hot water heats the air surrounding the unit, causing it to rise and create convection currents that circulate throughout the room. This natural movement of air helps to evenly distribute heat. Therefore, the correct answer is natural draft. Forced air heating systems use a blower or fan to distribute heated air, which is not the case in baseboard hot water heat. Hydronic heating systems use water as the heat transfer medium, making this option somewhat similar to baseboard hot water heat but not as specific. Geothermal heating systems utilize the heat from the earth to provide warmth, which is different from baseboard hot water heat.
