Where Did Earth's Oxygen Come From? Scientists Hint At An Unexpected Source
The amount of oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere makes it a habitable planet. 21% of the atmosphere consists of this life-giving element. But in the deep past - as far back as the Neoarchean era 2.8-2.5 billion years ago - this oxygen was almost absent

Ancient Oxygen Source Detected in Earth’s Crust; May Have Influenced Evolution of Life, Researchers Say
Researchers have discovered a mechanism through which hydrogen peroxide can be generated from rocks under the Earth's surface during the movement of geological faults. The oxygen source could have influenced the early evolution of life on Earth when photosynthesis wasn't there, according to the researchers.

Moon’s Top Layer Can Provide Enough Oxygen for 8 Billion People for 100,000 Years
The Moon's layer of rocks, called regolith, contains enough oxygen to sustain human life. If a new study is to be believed, the Moon's surface has enough oxygen to keep 8 billion, or 800 crore people alive for around 1,00,000 years.

Global Warming Could Cause Fall in Oxygen on Earth: Study
Earth's oxygen could dramatically fall due to change in ocean temperature of just several degrees, which may likely result in the mass mortality of animals and humans, a new study has claimed.
