Glassing is what the humans call the Plasma bombardments by Covenant Cruisers. When the Covenant have what they want from a planet, or when they just want to end all life their, they bomb the surface in a exact criss-crossing pattern with huge plasma bolts, literally turning the surface to glass.
Also, there are a few small human colonies left other than Earth at the end of First Strike, however, it is assumed that once the Covies found Earth's location, they skipped the others and went right to it.
