In general, crimes are divided into two groups- misdemeanors (minor crimes) and felonies (major crimes). Felonies are generally punishable by one year or more in jail, or by death (for SOME felonies). Examples of crimes that are felonies include murder, rape, robbery, burglary, and so on. In addition to the possibility of being sent to jail, being convicted of a felony will cause other problems- not being able to own a firearm (ever), you may lose your right to vote, to have a driver's license, not be able to enlist in the military, get certain jobs, etc.
