the reason why earth and water survived sozin's comet was because the fire nation did not focus their atk on them. They focused on mainly atking the air nomads. Since they knew the next avatar would be born in the air nomads. Like Aang quoted in The Headband, the air nomads didn't have a form of military. And anyways if Aang didn't run away he probably would've died, so it's a good thing the air nomads let him "slip through their fingers." And yeah, monk gyatso killed 100 or more firebenders DURING the comet.
