it's called "surface tension". It is the property of the surface of a liquid which causes it to behave like an elastic sheet. This is why a "water strider" insect can skate across the surface of a pond without sinking into the water. It is also what causes a drop of water - the surface tension of the water pulls it into a ball.

Why does a glass filled with water shatter when you run your finger along the rim of the glass?
A piece of crystal stemware has a natural or resonant frequency that can be excited by rubbing a moistened finger along its rim. Filling the glass with water merely changes the pitch of the tone. The tone you hear is created when the crystal vibrates at frequencies in the audible range for humans. Although it's difficult to see, the glass actually flexes during the vibrations. If the glass deforms sufficiently, it can break, since crystal is brittle and not very elastic. It is not likely that a flawless glass could be made to break merely by rubbing its rim. The MythBusters demonstrated the resonance of a crystal glass and shattered several by exciting the glasses with a human voice. One professional singer broke a glass without the use of amplification. See the video.
