Neither. They are usually not at all like aerial photographs since they show geopolitical features - including things like place names. You would be hard pressed to find a place name in a true aerial photograph - except perhaps for Hollywood! Also, the shapes that they show for continents and oceans are approximate rather than the true shapes.

Is land masses and oceans are permanently set in place?
According to the theory of plate tectonics, no. The theory of plate tectonics basically states that all the continents and oceans rest on massive pieces of the Earth's crust called "plates". These plates sort of float on the mantle beneath them. Thus, plates are able to move. Sometimes, one plate can get pulled underneath another one, in a process known as subduction. Because plates are constantly moving, the continents and oceans that rest above them move also. This is why the Pacific ocean is gradually getting smaller, the Atlantic gradually growing, etc.
