If a big meteor hit the dinosaurs then how come the earth didn't explode?
It wasn't that big! The theory is that a large meteor hit the Earth and the explosion caused a large amount of dust in the upper atmosphere which caused climate change and the dinosaurs (or most of them) didn't survive.

What causes meteor?
A meteor shower is a celestial event in which a number of meteors are observed to radiate, or originate, from one point in the night sky. These meteors are caused by streams of cosmic debris called meteoroids entering Earth's atmosphere at extremely high speeds on parallel trajectories. Most meteors are smaller than a grain of sand, so almost all of them disintegrate and never hit the Earth's surface. Intense or unusual meteor showers are known as meteor outbursts and meteor storms, which may produce greater than 1,000 meteors an hour.[1]The Meteor Data Center lists about 600 suspected meteor showers of which about 100 are well established.[2]
Is there going to be a meteor shower today 2012?

It will create a crater similar to the Barringer crater (Meteor crater).Where it actually hits will determine the overall destructive effect.Oceans: TsunamiCities: Total destruction.Barren land: Crater.
What kind of feature might be formed on Earth if a large meteorite reached its surface?
A large meteor strike on the earth might cause a crateron the surface. If it struck the water, it may leave a bit of a crater in the sea floor, depending on the size and velocity and composition of the meteor and the depth of the sea where it impacted. If it hit land, there'd be a big "dent" in the ground where the missle and the blast of impact gouged it out.
