It's pretty simple really, the water just flows down to the bottom.

Axial tilt?

How would axial tilt make everything go to the top? By definition the axis of a non eccentric planet spends equal amounts of time with each hemisphere closer to the sun.

If it didn't, and the planet was situated such that it was tidally locked to the sun, then it wouldn't have an axial tilt, the axis of the axial tilt being defined as the axis of rotation.

That's true. My grasp of basic geometry is childlike.

Now look at Mars. It’s very strongly divided between highlands in the southern hemisphere and lowlands in the northern hemisphere.

Wonder why?

Like seriously, what planetary evolution quirk made this happen?

You can do a fun home science experiment to explain this phenomenon: Place a ball of any size on the ground and spin it. Now dump a pitcher of water on it. Which way does the water go? To the bottom of the ball every time. It's the same with a planet (the ball) and the ocean (space rain or wherever water came from like originally)
