Quick question: What happens to water on a hill?

I give up, what?

You really have no idea? It flows down. If a hill is the same as the horizon on the open ocean, then why isn't the water just falling away from you down this curve?

I'm just trying to highlight the absurdity of what you're saying.

Aberrations in terrain is not the same as the perceived curvature of the Earth via the horizon.

The ocean water isnt on a hill. Because of the curvature, the water IS the hill, geometrically speaking anyway.
