There are two schools of thought on this: First, the water gets recycled by God into the waters in the sky (you know, the ones that make the sky blue, see Genesis 1:7), then fall upon the Earth as rain or dew. Second, the water goes into the fountains of the great deep (see Genesis 7:11), which slowly let the water back into the seas. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle.

and how do the oceans stay at the same level?
Who said the oceans stay at the same level? I never saw that in the Bible. The oceans have currents, so obviously they are higher in some places than in others. Similarly, ocean levels change as the tides change.

Quote:
if an earthquake happened, wouldn't that send more water over the edge due to the force of the earth on the water and thereby decrease the water level until the water reappears
Yes. Earthquakes in the seas cause tsunamis, which increase the amount of water flowing over the edge at any given time. This is why tsunamis eventually stop--if the oceans were a closed system, with no outlet, then each tsunami would continue zipping across the oceans basins forever. You have to understand, though, that the amount of water in a tsunami is small compared to the total volume of water in the oceans, so a little extra water going over the edge does not dramatically affect sea levels worldwide.
