Pyrolysis (Greek, Pyro = fire, Lysis = loosening), is thermal breakage of organic molecules and when the process is applied to higher alkanes .it is called cracking (a word given by petroleum industry). The product is in the form of a mixture containing alkanes

What does this mean "The process of heating higher alkanes to sufficiently high temperatures in absence of oxygen, in order to obtain lower hydrocarbons is known as cracking or pyrolysis.
For example, n - hexadecane on heating cracks into n-octane and octene (an alkene)."
