It depends on the size of the meteor and where it lands. If it is a large meteor that lands on the hard ground, you will get a crater.

What happens to meteorites before they hit a plant?

Do you mean "plant" or "planet". As it stands your question makes no sense. A space rock (a meteoroid) becomes a meteor (a shooting star) as it enters a planetary atmosphere and becomes a meteorite once it has hit the surface. Therefore technically a meteorite does not exist before it hits a planet.
