Because of the volume of water inside a toilet it is impossible for this to be affected by Earth’s rotation and the Coriolis force in any appreciable way, also toilets tend to angle the jets that pass water into the bowl to drive the direction of draining water (Rafferty, n.d.). ]]> 2022-01-12 15:28:53 UTC https://padlet.com/a01706534/cy6sxtgc93e0adtd/wish/1988477683 a01706534 https://padlet.com/a01706534/cy6sxtgc93e0adtd/wish/1988510829 2022-01-12 15:41:55 UTC https://padlet.com/a01706534/cy6sxtgc93e0adtd/wish/1988510829 a01706534 https://padlet.com/a01706534/cy6sxtgc93e0adtd/wish/1988522390 The source of information is a website named :Encyclopaedia Britannica.
