Depending on the meteor's size and its speed through the atmosphere, it can cause
anything from a short dim streak of light in the sky to the obliteration of a continent
and the total annihilation of life on earth. Fortunately, all of the ones that earth has
encountered since humans have existed have been of the smaller, slower variety.

Can you mention any big pit caused by a meteor?
There is the famous crater in Arizona, known as Meteor Crater or Barringer Crater. It is not actually meteors that cause craters. Meteors are destroyed in the Earth's atmosphere. If they survive the Earth's atmosphere and then land on Earth, they are known as meteorites. So it is meteorites that actually cause craters.
