Boundaries on Earth's surface are called geographic boundaries. These boundaries can be natural, such as mountains, rivers, and Coastlines, or they can be artificial, such as borders between countries or states. Geographic boundaries help define territories, separate landforms, and demarcate political jurisdictions.

What change earth surface?
Convection currents beneath the tectonic plates of the crustal surface of the earth provide heat from the core in circular motions, and make plate boundaries move together from compressional forces at convergent boundaries, apart from tensional forces at divergent boundaries, and side by side from shear force at transform boundaries.
What Half of earths surface is called?
There is no such thing as half of the Earth. If you are referring to half of the spherical shape of the Earth then it will be a hemisphere.
