Orbital resonances with Jupiter
The large space between Mars and Jupiter is called the asteroid belt. It is a region in our solar system that contains numerous small rocky bodies known as asteroids. The asteroid belt is located roughly 2.2 to 3.2 astronomical units (AU) from the Sun.
Walter and Luis Alvarez proposed the theory that a large rocky object, such as an asteroid or comet, colliding with Earth caused the mass extinction of the dinosaurs. This theory is known as the Alvarez Hypothesis.
The rock that orbits the sun between Mars and Jupiter is known as an asteroid. This region is called the asteroid belt, and it contains a large number of minor planets that vary in size and composition.
The usual term is crater. Most craters are nearly circular holes surrounded by rims of ejected material. The term "impact basin" is used for the multiple-ringed structures formed by large impacts.
A rock that revolves around the Sun is called an asteroid. Asteroids are small, rocky objects that orbit the Sun in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. They can vary in size from a few meters to hundreds of kilometers across.
Many of the large (astroblemes) craters have been eroded by weathering over time so it can be difficult to be sure one was caused by an asteroid. Several large lakes in Canada are thought to be remnants

a rather large asteroid
Based on the popular theory that the dinosaurs went extinct due to the impact of a large asteroid, scientists think that the asteroid caused large amounts of debris to fly into the atmosphere, blocking out the sun. This caused global temperatures to drop, thus freezing the plants. In addition, without the sun the plants could not carry on photosynthesis, which caused them to die.
They felt like a 40DD to me.... ;-p
Flint. Not sure what is meant about a large asteroid although there is an asteroid song by Keith Flint.

No, an asteroid cannot destroy earth, but a large enough asteroid can have devastating effects on the life on Earth
No. An asteroid can get captured by an asteroid and become a moon, but not the moon. Our moon is too large to be considered an asteroid.
A large crack in the ground is called a fault which is caused by and earthquake.
