no , they are not the same . cracking involves bonds such as alkanes (single bonds) and alkenes (double bonds) , these are broke down into more use full resourcefull chains , this is called cracking . thermal decomposition is the decomposition of something being heated up , so lets say for example - calcium carbonate (when heated) = calcium oxide +carbon dioxide , this is the word equation for thermal decomposition . so yes yu could refer both of them to being alike

Thermal decomposition and decomposition temperature-is it refer to the same things?
Thermal decomposition is the process by which chemical bonds are broken in the presence of heat. Decomposition temperature is the temperature at which thermal decomposition occurs, which differs for different compounds.
Why do you think cracking is called a thermal decomposition reaction?
heat is used to decompose long chain hydrocarbons into shorter chain hydrocarbons.
If you break a compound down by using heat it is called?
Solids melt on heating. A2. But if you are thinking of the destruction of the material, perhaps pyrolysis is what you seek.
How is a decomposition reaction done?
A method is the thermal decomposition of a compound.
When a substance is heated what is it called?
Thermal Decomposition

What is difference between thermal and catalytic cracking?
Thermal CRacking is caused by heat while catalytic cracking is not caused by heat
