Where else is oxygen found besides the atmosphere?
It is trapped in rocks, especially iron-rich rocks. Of course it is found in water, either as in the form of H2O or in free oxygen found most frequently in rapidly flowing streams and roiling water. I can't think of any other places, but oxygen is found in many compounds.
How does oxygen in the atmosphere differ from oxygen in rocks and minerals?
Atmospheric oxygen tends to be elemental oxygen (O2). Oxygen in rocks and minerals is chemically combined with other elements to form compounds called oxides.
Do rocks absorb oxygen?
Yeah its really annoying
What occurs when rocks are exposed to oxygen elements in the air?

What survival inventions can produce water?
Hydrogen is very light material. Oxygen can be found in rocks. If you are equiped with hydrogen cyllinder and have an energy origine (e.g. solar) to produce oxygen from rocks - combining them will make water
Is almost all of the oxygen on planet earth found in the atmosphere?
No. Most of the oxygen on Earth is bound up in the silicate minerals that make up most of Earth's rocks.
What is an element that is in most rocks?
Most rocks contain oxygen.
What is oxygen called when it is combined with rocks and minerals?
It is called oxidation when rocks and minerals are combined with oxygen. It is chemical weathering.

What was the gas in Earth's early atmosphere that was chemically converted or trapped in the rocks?
Oxygen was trapped in rocks in the very early days of earth. These rocks are known as "banded rocks". It took a long time before the oxygen was let out of the rocks.
Where are rocks usually found?
rocks are usally found on the groung or in it
Does rhyolite of oxygen in it?
Yes. All igneous rocks contain oxygen.
How old are rocks found in Apollo missions?
The moon rocks are older then the rocks found on earth.
