Cracking (Animation)

Appears as a single, or series of, lines or "tears" in the paint, generally accompanied by some degree of separation. No paint is missing.

Cracking (Car Care)

The process whereby large molecules are broken down by the application of heat and pressure to form smaller molecules.

Cracking (Cels)

Appears as a series of jagged "breaks" or "tears" in the paint., generally accompanied by some degree of separation.

Cracking (Energy)

The refinery process in which large, heavy, complex hydrocarbon molecules are broken down into simpler and lighter molecules in order to derive a variety of fuel products.

Cracking (Global Warming)

The refining process of breaking down the larger, heavier, and more complex hydrocarbon molecules into simpler and lighter molecules.

Cracking (Information Warfare)

Illegally gaining entry to a computer or computer network in order to do harm.

Cracking (Natural Gas)

Processing that breaks down and rearranges the molecular structure of hydrocarbon chains. In thermal cracking, high temperature and high pressures are applied; in catalytic cracking, temperature and pressure are applied in the presence of a catalyst. See CATALYST.

Cracking (Networking)

This is the act of breaking into computers, bypassing passwords or licenses in a computer program or intentionally breaching computer security.

Cracking (Oil)

A refining process for increasing the yield of gasoline from crude oil; cracking involves breaking down the larger, heavier and more complex hydrocarbon molecules into simpler and lighter molecules through the use of heat and pressure, and sometimes a catalyst.

Cracking (Oil and Gasoline)

Refinery process whereby large, heavy, complex hydrocarbon molecules are broken down into simpler and lighter molecules in order to derive a variety of fuel products.

Cracking (Paint)

The splitting of a dry paint or varnish film, usually a result of aging or movement of the substrate. Different forms are hair-line cracking, checking, crazing, grain cracking, or alligatoring.

Cracking (Pavement)

The process of contraction or the reflection of stress in the pavement.

Cracking (Science)

The process of breaking large, complex molecules (especially hydrocarbons) into smaller, simpler ones.
