Where do the rockets that a spacecraft leaves behind go?

If they fall down to earth does that mean they come crashing down on land or sea? And isn’t that dangerous threat to people who may be on ground or maybe a ship like a Cruise ship?

Depends on speed and elevation. If it’s low and slow then it burns up on re-entry or falls to the ground(usually with parachutes) if it’s fast and high then it stays in orbit and becomes space junk.
