Hell, the damage might be caused by it's Aether draining being dispersed in one huge pulse after crashing down causing weird geological abnormalities like the floating islands in the 2.0 concept and the big lava looking spike thingy.

/speculation
Here is my question.... (And speculated answers)
Where (or how) could a meteor hit somewhere in Eorzea, and have an impact that damages (or just reforms) all of the zones, yet doesn't damage any of the cities

It could possibly be that someone (Maybe Cid or Circle of Knowing) or some thing (Maybe the primals, paragons or Ascians) is able to create magic barriers.... but it is so difficult that the barriers can only cover the cities

Another possibility is that Dalamud is blown into smaller pieces before it lands... and those pieces land all over the place

Yet another possibility is that Dalamud is destroyed but not before the Strong Aetherial Interaction between it and the earth causes large scale terraforming

One more theory is that Dalamud is diverted somewhere unpopulated... but the impact as well as aetherial interactions cause irreparable damage to the continent
