What is the difference between distilling and cracking when refining crude oil?

Distilling is separating what you have in the natural crude oil mix. Cracking is using a chemical means (catalyst) to change that natural mix--effectively splitting heavier molecules into smaller ones so you get a mix that gives a more favorable mixture of lighter (fuel) molecules.

After you crack it, you still (no pun intended) need to distil it.
