The two risks that are involved in both underground mining and surface mining are:
1. **Ground instability** - Both types of mining can experience ground instability due to excavation and the removal of material.
2. **Respiratory disease** - Workers in both underground and surface mining can be exposed to dust and other airborne particles that can lead to respiratory issues.
The other options, such as methane gas buildup, high water pressure, and UV exposure, are more specifically associated with either underground or surface mining rather than both. Methane gas buildup is primarily a concern in underground mines, while UV exposure is mainly a risk in surface mining due to direct sunlight. High water pressure is more relevant to underground mining scenarios.
