why dose the water go down the plug hole one way here and the other over seas?

Answer 1

Thats an urban myth. The main component of which way the water rotates is the geometry of the sink.

Answer 2

It's not so much "over seas" but the entire southern hemisphere.
"The direction of motion is caused by the Coriolis effect. This can be visualized if you imagine putting a pan of water on a turntable and then spinning the turntable in a counterclockwise direction, the direction in which the earth rotates as seen from above the north pole. The water on the bottom of the pan will be dragged counterclockwise direction slightly faster than the water at the surface, giving the water an apparent clockwise spin in the pan. But if you were to look at the water in the pan from below, corresponding to seeing it from the south pole, it would appear to be spinning in a counterclockwise direction. Likewise, the rotation of the earth gives rise to an effect that tends to accelerate draining water in a clockwise direction in the Northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern."

Answer 3

Rotation of the Earth has different effect on direction of water going down the hole on Northern Vs Southern Hemisphere.

Note: In science one dimensional thinking will not help
one to learn.

Brad Hanson, a staff geologist with the Louisiana Geological Survey, presents the argument of why--in theory--water going down the drain would indeed spin in different directions depending on which hemisphere you're in:

Answer 4

Water does not drain in any direction in a sink because of where it's located in the world. It's bad science and believe it or not, still taught by high school science teachers who should be fired. The sink is too small for the effect to work.

Answer 5

No it is the difference between the northern and Southerner hemisphere. Same thing applies to weather like hurricanes never cross the equator.

Answer 6

It dosent.
