Is cracking and thermal decomposition the same?

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
