 <span>The teeth and the skin tend to be stained by the action of nicotine and tar. Nicotine is a substance that is extracted from the leaves of tobacco and that can also be produced synthetically; It is a toxic drug that in small doses produces euphoria, decreased appetite, etc., and in high doses can cause serious poisoning.</span>

Nicotine and Tar are the two major components of tobacco that causes teeth staining. Just like our skin, our teeth have pores, which can easily absorb nicotine and tar and turn white teeth yellow. Although nicotine itself is colorless but when it combines with oxygen it turns yellow. Even nicotine infuses electronic cigarettes causes teeth discoloration.  

Most people have dark brown stains on their teeth, it is because of the way they consume tobacco. When tobacco is chewed along with saliva, it produces dark brown liquid which is extremely staining.

Which seismic waves are felt first at a seismic station
vlabodo [156]
Question-
Which seismic waves are felt first at a seismic station

Answer-
Seismic waves are the waves of energy caused by the sudden breaking of rock within the earth or an explosion. They are the energy that travels through the earth and is recorded on seismographs.


There are several different kinds of seismic waves, and they all move in different ways. The two main types of waves are body waves and surface waves. Body waves can travel through the earth's inner layers, but surface waves can only move along the surface of the planet like ripples on water. Earthquakes radiate seismic energy as both body and surface waves.

BODY WAVES
Traveling through the interior of the earth, body waves arrive before the surface waves emitted by an earthquake. These waves are of a higher frequency than surface waves.

P WAVES
The first kind of body wave is the P wave or primary wave. This is the fastest kind of seismic wave, and, consequently, the first to 'arrive' at a seismic station. The P wave can move through solid rock and fluids, like water or the liquid layers of the earth. It pushes and pulls the rock it moves through just like sound waves push and pull the air. Have you ever heard a big clap of thunder and heard the windows rattle at the same time? The windows rattle because the sound waves were pushing and pulling on the window glass much like P waves push and pull on rock. Sometimes animals can hear the P waves of an earthquake. Dogs, for instance, commonly begin barking hysterically just before an earthquake 'hits' (or more specifically, before the surface waves arrive). Usually people can only feel the bump and rattle of these waves.

P waves are also known as compressional waves, because of the pushing and pulling they do. Subjected to a P wave, particles move in the same direction that the the wave is moving in, which is the direction that the energy is traveling in, and is sometimes called the 'direction of wave propagation'.
