Answer: Through diffusion

Step-by-step explanation:

Oxygen can be defined as the most abundant element on earth. It is a gas at room temperature. It becomes the part of the earth crust by the process of diffusion.

Diffusion is a process of movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to the low concentration. The oxygen remains in high concentration in the atmosphere diffuses into earth crust at low concentration.
