Why are asteroids and meteors pose a threat to earth?

Asteroids & meteors are celestial bodies which could'nt make into a planet.there sizes ranges from about yard to about a football field & they travel at great speeds.and when they come into contact to earth this whole of kinetic energy is converted into a huge amount of energy which could be eqivalent to some tonnes of TNT & could destroy life on earth. hence,these always pose a threat to mass extinction.
