If water is bubbling, how does the oxygen become incoporated into it?

If it is not bubbling, it does not. So what about the bubbling makes this happen?

If you bubble air or oxygen through water, a minute amount of the nitrogen and/or oxygen dissolves in it. You see this in fish tanks.

The bubbling IS the oxygen itself. A bubble is a little piece of oxygen gas. I read it that you think the bubble is somehow distinct from the oxygen.

The bubbles are actually water vapor - the water boils and changes state from liquid to gas.
