Oxygen is one of the most essential elements found on Earth. Humans and all living things depend on oxygen for survival. This vi
tal element is obtained different ways. The primary source for oxygen is from the ocean, which gives more than fifty percent of Earth's oxygen and most come from tiny ocean
surface plants called phytoplankton. In the process of photosynthesis, phytoplankton releases oxygen into the water. Photosynthesis is also the process
used on land by plants, grass, and trees to convert the sun's energy and nutrients to be released as oxygen. Other forms of oxygen are in the Earth's crust
and minerals, and do not contribute to the oxygen we breathe in the atmosphere.
