Oxygen began entering Earth's oceans around 2.32 billion years ago, and shallow seas followed within a few million years.

Rocks are generating 'dark oxygen' in an area being explored for deep-sea mining. Over 12,000 feet below the surface of the sea, in a region of the Pacific Ocean known as the Clarion-Clipperton Zone ...
