Which of the statements given above is/are correct? Correct Answer Both 1 or 2

1. Most of the soil erosion in Madhya Pradesh is done by Chambal River and its tributaries.
Chambal River caused the highest gully erosion of the soil in Rajasthan. The Chambal River is a tributary of the Yamuna River. Due to gully erosion of soil by the Chambal River the area is degraded ravines, locally called Bihads.

2. Mixed soil is rich in nitrogen and phosphate.
Soil is a major source of nutrients needed by plants for growth. The three main nutrients are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). Together they make up the trio known as NPK.

Read the given paragraph carefully and answer the following question.  Soil erosion is a naturally occurring process that affects all land forms. It refers to the wearing away of a field's topsoil by natural physical forces of water and wind. Topsoil, which is high in organic matter, fertility and soil life, majorly contributes to the growth of crops. Soil erosion reduces cropland productivity and causes the pollution of watercourses, weltlands and lakes. Which of the following options does NOT show steps taken to prevent soil erosion?
