Chances are, you're on land right now. Scientists would say you are living on the sial. The sial is the part of the crust that is above water. It's a continental plate floating over the globe. Right underneath the sial is the sima. The sima is the layer of the Earth's crust that covers the entire planet. The sial is different in that it can begin and end where the plates do. You can think of the sima as the ocean floors. Under the sima is the mantle. When you consider the mantle is when you really start talking about the inner workings of the planet.
