∙ 14y agoIn the base of the toilet, the drain is shaped like an upside down U. When you flush, the water in the bowl rises. Water seeks it own level and when it is higher than the top of the upside down U, it goes over the top and causes a suction or syphon that draws the rest of the water in the bowl after it. until it sucks air and breaks the syphon.
