The earth, from the Mariana Trench to the top of Mt. Everest is smoother/ more round, comparatively, than a pool ball is required to be.
Produced as in expelled out of the earth's crusts. Can chemical reaction be going on down there? Sure, but water can exist close to a volcano.

Why is it so hard to believe that the earth is capable of making her own water?
The gases escaping from volcanoes is, in part:
The most abundant gas typically released into the atmosphere from volcanic systems is water vapor (H2O), followed by carbon dioxide (CO2) and sulfur dioxide (SO2).
That is a lot of "O"'s. Each one of those "O"'s is capable of breaking off from the other letters and reforming with spare "H"'s in the atmosphere. That makes water. Not to mention this combining takes place within the earth too, as water vapour is also a by product of volcano eruptions.

The amount of water on Earth does not account for anything like 75 percent of its mass or its volume. Water forms a thin skin, barely more than a couple of miles deep, on part of the surface of a ball of rock almost eight thousand miles in diameter.
Where did the water come from? The same place all the rock came from. It came from the stars, as boncho said.
