Geologically speaking, the outer surface of the Earth is called the Crust; this lies over a much thicker layer known as the Mantle, which is much denser, and finally the inner part of the Earth is the Core, which is believed to be even denser, molten and metallic.
The surface of the Earth is further differentiated by those parts which are covered in water and those parts which are land. These are generally divided into seven continents and seven seas (or more accurately, oceans), the land masses of the continents resting on thicker Crust than the oceans.
The Continental crust is divided into "Tectonic Plates", which are very slowly moving due to convection currents produced in the underlying mantle, and where these plates meet there is much volcanic and seismic activity.
The seven continents are In order of size from the largest down): Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe and Australia.
The "seven seas" is a rather less accurate yet common term, and currently refers to the seven major oceans; the North Pacific, South Pacific Ocean, North Atlantic Ocean, South Atlantic, the Indian Ocean, Southern Ocean, and the Arctic Ocean.
n.b. The original question as phrased is rather ambiguous, but I hope this has been of help.

What term names the location on the earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake?
The term that names the location on the Earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake is called the "epicenter." The epicenter is crucial for determining the impact of the earthquake and is often used in reports and assessments of seismic activity. It is located at the point on the surface that is nearest to the point where the earthquake originates underground.
Are the forces that drive the rock cycle beneath the earth's surface the same as the forces that drive the rock cycle on or near earth's surface?
The forces that drive the rock cycle beneath the earth's surface are not the same as the forces that drive the rock cycle on or near earth's surface because the processes of the rock cycle beneath the earth surface and above the earth surface are diffferent.
Deep cracks in the Earth surface?
the deep crack in the earth's surface is the rift
Why are metamorphic rocks not common on Earth's surface?
They are formed under the earth's surface.
What are the two names for where an earthquake originates?
The focus is the point underground where the earthquake originates.The epicentre is the point on the surface directly above the focus, where earthquake waves seem to spread out from.
What is the name of the person who studies earth's structures?
People who study Earth's surface features are called geographers. Their names are unknown to the masses.
What are the names of the layers of the atmosphere leaving the earth?
The layers of the atmosphere, starting from the Earth's surface and moving outwards, are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere.
What are the names for each layer?
The layers of the atmosphere, starting from the Earth's surface, are: troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere.
What is a symbolic representation of the earth's surface or part of the earth surface called?
A symbolic representation of the earth's surface or part of the earth surface is called map.
How is magma different from rocks on Earth's surface?
Magma is under the surface of Earth's crust. Rocks on earth's surface are well ... on Earth's surface. Magma is also molten rock, not solid rock like the rocks on earth's surface.
What is the models of Earth's surface?
A model of the Earth's surface is a globe.
What does magma do when it reaches Earth's surface?
it breaks the earth's surface
Is the Earth's surface mostly land?
No. Earth is mostly composed of the hydrosphere (water) with 3/4 of the earth's surface. While lithosphere has 1/4 of earth's surface.
What forces in earth help shape earth's surface?
the plates under earth's surface
A representation of the earth's surface or part of the earth's surface?
A representation of the earth's surface or part of the earth's surface is referred to as a map. There are different types of maps that will represent varied data and different locations.
How deposition change the surface of the earth?
Deposition changes the surface of earth by eroding away the surface.
What is another name for the Earth's surface?
Another name for the Earth's surface is:THe crust
