The two risks involved in both underground mining and surface mining are:

  1. Respiratory disease - Exposure to dust and other airborne particles can lead to respiratory issues for workers in both types of mining.

  2. Ground instability - Both underground and surface mining can create conditions that lead to ground instability, including sinkholes or landslides.

So the correct answers are respiratory disease and ground instability.
