Does earth's surface stay the same?
No, the surface changes. Erosion from rain and wind will gradually make mountain ranges lower; continents move; this movement creates new mountains, as the continental plates push against each other. For example, several million years ago, most continents were together, in one supercontinent, "Pangaea". I suggest you read an encyclopedia (e.g., en.wikipedia.org) article about plate tectonics; also about Pangaea or Pangea.No, the surface changes.
