Reply to comment by JesseLaces in If earth was a smooth sphere, which direction would water flow when placed on the surface? by Axial-Precession
The earth is spinning and the mass wants to move to the outer edge of the spin, which is the equator, which is why the earth bulges a little there. For the same reason, the water would want to move to the equator.
