Water on Earth, by nature, always travels to the lowest point it can, moving downwards through fissures and cracks, responding to gravity.
Leonardo da Vinci made mention of this in his "Treatise on water". The centre of our planet is the lowest point.
Our planet's innercore heat causes the water to return to the lithosphere's surface.
Should our core cool, all suface water would retreat into the Earth, leaving our surface waterless.
The complimentary yet oppositional forces of hot and cold, dry and wet, Fire and Water work together holding the balance in order.
