Can the surface of water curve?

If water does not curve... then, why do we have waves???

naw cause the earth is very flat
Yes. Water curves. It is caused by electrical poles in the water molecule. It curves into raindrops. It curves up the side of a glass. It curves when drawn by a magnet.
@TBIman Bodies of water are constantly moving. They curve all the time. Have you seen waves? Waterfalls? The horizon of the ocean that curves with the shape of the Earth? Because it's really obvious if you've ever been out on the ocean or flown a plane, or claimed to the top of a mountain near the ocean.

@TBIman I was not trying to harass you. I was just trying to understand why you believe as you do. I presented proof. You insulted me and called my beliefs retarded. I simply asked for what proof caused you to believe as you do. I've revied all the evidence online that supposedly shows the Earth is flat and all of it that I've found has been wrong with regards to science.

Your own post about the Earth being flat is not the only place you have spoken about the Earth being flat and you have been insulting toward anyone who has provided you with possible evidence yet have not provided any to support your beliefs or why you feel it is okay to be mean and insulting toward our knowledge that the Earth is round.

You are entitled to your beliefs. But it is uncalled for ask for evidence of something, and then call someone retarded for providing it. You will not be blocked because I don't converse with people who ask for evidence, insult the one providing it, and pretend that they are a victim after being offensive on multiple posts and not just this one.

A dead "flat" surface of still water is curved, simply by being on a spherical planet, though it has to be a large expanse for the curvature to be noticeable (the horizon).

The ocean surfaces are also bulged by the passage of the Moon above them, causing the tides.
TBIman · 41-45, M
@ArishMell Yes. I deny any motion of the Earth because it has never been proven to exist. Same with gravity.

I deny all pseudoscience.

Thank you for participating in my question. I appreciate it.
ArishMell · 70-79, M
@TBIman Thank-you.

So you deny despise and do not want science, but use the Internet and the electricity that drives such systems, to say so... Hmmm.
TBIman · 41-45, M
@ArishMell No. I am all for real science. Ya know, the testable, observable, and repeatable kind.
TBIman · 41-45, M
You are a retard. Everyone on Earth knows that the surface of water is always flat.
@TBIman I went to a good number of sites and read about it, it didn't make me change my mind about the earth being round, but I guess I will believe what I want to and you can do the same. I can't judge you for it.
TBIman · 41-45, M
@Justiceforall Thanks for not judging me for knowing that what I experience is the truth man. You should really look into what you believe, or just hear about the flat Earth when it's all over the news. We are still many years away from that though. As long as people just blindly believe what they see on their T.V. we will never get out of this slave system.

He ran an experiment himself. Taped a tennis ball to a piece of string, then poured a cup of water over it while it was spinning. He used a Dirt Devil to create a vacuum. He considered this conclusive proof of his belief.
Why he hasn’t receive a Nobel Prize, is beyond me.

@TBIman I just gave you plenty of examples of it curving. Granted, none of them were purely due to gravity. But I'm trying to say: I see value in generalizing it.

To answer your question, I think that's how ocean waves form. From the gravity of the moon. At least, I heard that when I was a kid.
@SinlessOnslaught I know that the gravity of the moon can influence the tides... but I hadn't heard that the moon was responsible for waves, too, so thank you for that 🙂
TBIman · 41-45, M
@SinlessOnslaught Yeah, we all heard stories as children meant to stifle our curiosity. Think about it Sinless... How can the non-exsistaht force of "gravity" have any effect on the Earth's tides from an object that is so much smaller than the Earth? No one knows how ocean waves are formed. They are most definitely [u]NOT[/u] caused by the non-existent force of gravity.

I want to help people, but it's hard because you already [i]think[/i] that you have the correct answer that we were fed in our faulty education system. I can already tell that you are set in your way of thinking. This makes anything that I say here pointless. Thank you for engaging in this pointless dialog with me. I trust, or really hope that you will not reply, because it is difficult for me to type.
Water surface tension causes the formation of drops.
@TBIman Do you work through scientific principles at all l?
TBIman · 41-45, M
@Aliveshock Scientific yes. Pseudoscientific no.
@TBIman
Yeah right
*snicker*
Inanna · 22-25, F
The surface of all water is curved.
TBIman · 41-45, M
@wildbill83 I am well aware of "surface tension." I was referring to a "body of water." There is no measurable curvature on Earth. This is just a fact.
wildbill83 · 36-40, M
@TBIman earth curves approximately 8" per mile squared; simple math, easily provable with an optical or laser transit
TBIman · 41-45, M
@wildbill83 The Earth does not curve at all.

drop a quarter in your bathtube...
TBIman · 41-45, M
@Experienced33 Why would I do that? To watch it sink?
@TBIman ripples
FurryFace · 61-69, M
it follows the shape of whatever it fills
TBIman · 41-45, M
@FurryFace That's true. Thank you for participating. What about the surface of the water. Is it curved?
TexChik · F
dont waves in water roll rather than break?
TBIman · 41-45, M
@TexChik Yes, but that's water in motion. I was referring to still water. Like that in a pond, or lake. Sorry, I should've been more precise with my question.
