check out this video blog for everything you'd ever want to know about the coriolis effect, and what direction water goes when you flush a toilet! (it's near the end of the video, so please be patient!)

Clockwise, Canada.

Water flushing diverse instructions has no longer something to do with the hemispheres or the position you're contained in the water. It has to do with the type of a bathing room. lavatories are made otherwise in Australia. do this. Your toilt must have a huge rush of water come out of the interior the front of the bowl once you flush it. try utilising something to deflect the water in both of two instructions, truly than letting it bypass instantly down. Your lavatory will flush couterclockwise in case you deflect it to the left, and clockwise in case you flush it to the right. the reason it flushes the way it does on it truly is own is because the water comes out slightly to the left. even as the stress of the rushing water hits the water contained in the bowl, it motives it to spin. Now, in case you've been to empty a bath or sink, it may look like the technology i have basically informed you about isn't authentic. yet what outcomes the rotation of a draining bath or sing is the route it replaced right into slightly shifting even as the downward stress befell from the drain. Fluidity motives the water to objective to fill contained in the gap it is created, and any moderate rotation or stream will reason this vortex to settle on it truly is route. in case you've self belief contained in the coriolis result, basically seem at hurricanes and typhoons. The vortex created in those storms kinds with the help of the very similar critical defined above, yet hurricanes spin one way, and typhoons spin the different. Even positioned interior an analogous northern hemisphere. There have even been hurricanes contained in the Pacific. it truly is because of the flow of air flowing over the international. It winds into the North and the South of the Northern hemisphere. It replaced into initially reported that Typhoons originate contained in the Southern hemisphere, and hurricanes contained in the north. yet those days we've considered Typhoons forming basically North of the equator. The rotation of the earth does reason the route of the vortex of those storms, yet surely because the air is shifting faster than elsewhere in lattitude. A jet flow may reason an analogous result.

They all spin clockwise. The story of the water draining anti-clockwise in differant hemispheres is a myth. Oh, I'm in Australia. http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a1_161

supposedly if you're north of the equator, it spins clockwise and south of the equator, counter - clockwise.

Ok, I did but it just went down too fast. I am on the USA

the direction of the spin depends on what hemisphere you are living in, just like the water in your bathtub when it goes down the drain

Wow. Well mine goes clock wise. :P I just know that because I get used to it...? USA
