The surface of all water is curved.

@Justiceforall Where are you from? Here on Earth, the surface of water [u]ALWAYS[/u] lays perfectly flat.

@TBIman see "surface tension"

@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.

@TBIman earth curves approximately 8" per mile squared; simple math, easily provable with an optical or laser transit

@wildbill83 The Earth does not curve at all.
