Why do toilets flush counter clockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere?
They don't. That is a myth. The direction that a toilet flushes depends on how the toilet is designed, not what hemisphere it's in. Due to the Coriolis Effect, large scale weather systems and ocean currents rotate in opposite directions in opposite hemispheres, but this effect does not influence things on the scale of toilet bowls.
Do toilets spin backward south of the equator?
No, the direction in which toilets flush is not determined by the location of the equator. The direction of the spin is determined by the design of the toilet and the flow of water through the basin. It is a common misconception that toilets flush counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere due to the Coriolis effect, but in reality, this effect is too weak to influence the direction of toilet flushing.
Do toilets spin counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere?
The direction in which water spins in a toilet bowl is not solely determined by the hemisphere but rather by the design of the toilet and the way water is introduced into the bowl. While the Coriolis effect does influence large-scale weather patterns and ocean currents, its effect on small bodies of water, like those in toilets, is negligible. Therefore, toilets can spin in either direction regardless of whether they are in the northern or southern hemisphere.
Do toilets flush clockwise?
Not necessarily. The direction in which toilets flush is determined by the design of the toilet and the water flow, not by the hemisphere you are in. The Coriolis effect influences large-scale systems such as hurricanes and ocean currents, but it is too weak to affect the direction of toilet flushes.
Flushing a toilet in the southern hemisphere?
In the southern hemisphere, the Coriolis effect does influence the rotation of large-scale weather patterns, but it is too weak to affect the direction in which a toilet flushes. The direction a toilet flushes is primarily determined by the design of the toilet and the angle of the water jets.
Do Japanese toilets flush clockwise or anticlockwise?
anticlockwise. (All toilets in the Northern Hemisphere flush clockwise, all toilets in Southern Hemisphere flush anticlockwise.)
Why do toilets flush counter clockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere?

What direction do the toilets flush in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres?
In the Northern Hemisphere, toilets flush counterclockwise due to the Coriolis effect. In the Southern Hemisphere, toilets flush clockwise for the same reason. However, the effect is typically too weak to influence the direction of toilet flushes.
Which way does a toilet flush in the southern hemisphere?
The toilet is too small a scale for water to certainly flush in one direction or the other because of the hemisphere they can, in fact, flush both ways. However hurricanes will rotate clockwise in the northern hemisphere and anit-clockwise in the southern hemisphere.
What are the 7 continents in the southern hemisphere?
uranis, mountains, venus, toilets, over there, brisbane, my house.

Why dont toilets in South America go counter clockwise?
i was reserching this question but it said in Google that the oilets in Australia do not spin backwards.
Can you identify a oil contaminated plant by oily leafs?
Only in The southern hemisphere. just like the toilets...

What are facts about typhoons?
Damage from hurricanes can be caused by wind, flooding caused by storm surge and flooding caused by rainfall.It is interesting to note that in the northern hemisphere cyclonic storms rotate counter-clockwise and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. This is because of the Coriolis Effectand has given rise to the incorrect belief that water drains in sinks and toilets differently in the northern and southern hemispheres. The Bad Coriolis site thoroughly covers this myth.
Why does water go down the drain one way?
Contrary to popular belief, it has nothing to do with the latitude or the Coriolis effect. Toilets and sinks drain in the directions they do because of the way water is directed into them or pulled from them. The Coriolis effect is the reason why hurricanes rotate clockwise in the southern hemisphere, and counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere. But you need a very large amount of moving air and water for it to take effect.
