Magic. :D
That's difficult to accomplish without getting breading crumbs and frying oil all over the fractions. It takes a steady hand and frequent clean-up.
Oils are examples of hydrocarbons and hence they contain carbon and hydrogen as the elements.
Because crude oil is a mixture of different chemicals - mainly hydrocarbons - that have different evaporation temperatures. Roughly speaking, when the crude is heated, its temperature rises until it reaches the lowest vaporisation temperature. The temperature then remains more or less steady as the heat input is used as the latent heat of vaporisation for the relevant compound. When [almost] all of that compound has evaporated, the temperature starts rising again until it reaches the next varorisation temperature, and so on.

1 ton of oil is called 1 ton of oil. Oil is usually measured in barrels which equal 42 gallons. So making some assumptions a ton of oil would be about 6 barrels or so.
Cracking, or the splitting of complex molecules into simpler ones, creates a higher yield for petroleum, meaning more can be made out of a smaller amount of oil.
Oil refining is the process of distilling oil and then further reforming, catalytic cracking, hydrofining, blending, and sometimes coking, hydrocracking, alkylating various fractions of the distilled oil.
Although methanol can be produced using a number of raw materials (feedstocks), natural gas is preferred.
The importance of cracking is REALLY important ! Due to the presence of the hydrocarbon atoms present in the fossil fuels, the importance is really beneficial for the people who work in the petroleum industry. As a result of this, the fractions of crude oil are collected at different temperatures as biodegradable polymers. =]
It is distilled into different fractions, heavy fuel oil (e.g. for ships), kerosene (planes), diesel (cars), gas/petrol (cars), as an example. Also the heavier fractions from distillations may also be 'cracked' to produce more volatile components. The cracking process is undertaken using catalysis.
It is widely used to convert the high-boiling, high-molecular weight hydrocarbon fractions of crude oil to more valuable liquid petroleum gasoline and other products.Answers.com

Petrol is obtained from crude oil by fractional distillation and subsequent mixing of some of the fractions to obtain the desired properties. There are seasonal differences in petrol to facilitate vehicle operation under different climactic conditions. Some of the fractions for the petrol may be obtained by "cracking" higher molecular weight fractions to lower molecular weights. Some impurities, like sulfur, and some unsaturation of the fraction may be removed by treatment with hydrogen which replaces the impurity on the hydrocarbon molecule or adds hydrogen to the molecule to make it more stable. Some of the fractions may be treated to rearrange some of the molecules to make a more desireable product. It is a complex process that is highly dependant on the crude source, desired products, time of year, and the configuration of the refinery. From the same crude may come: fractions for making plastics, rubber, heating oil, diesel and gasoline fuels, lpg fuel, lubricants, solvents, petroleum coke, elemental sulfur, asphalt, bunker fuel oil, etc.

Yes. It is refined from crude oil in a process known as cracking.
Propene is obtained from crude oil by cracking.
modern tech is to expensive so cracking IS USED BECAUSE IT IS CHEAP AND EASY
