If water was always level (flat), then picture the Atlantic Ocean from north to south. It isn't flat. I am assuming that the curvature of the earth/water has a lot to do with Earths rotation and gravitational pull, as well as the tides and gravitational pull from the Moon.
The above statement is mostly just an uneducated guess. Science experts, have fun tearing it apart!
