Cracking of petroleum is a chemical process.
It lowers the activation energy of cracking, to quicken the cracking process.
The 'porous pot' that is used in a lab, is used to facilitate the cracking process during heating, the porous pot is used as a catalyst to speed up the cracking process. This allows for the process to occur at a lower temperature.

Cracking
This is usually called cracking; It produces unsaturated hydrocarbons as well as smaller alkanes.
This chemical process is called cracking.
The process is called cracking. The best way of breaking them up uses heat and a catalyst, so we call this catalyst cracking.
"Cat cracking" is the process used to break crude oil down into gasoline, kerosene, adn fuel oils.
