The types of seismic waves are confined at the surface are

Rayleigh waves
Love waves

Explanation:

Rayleigh wave are having the motion of retrograde particle which is confined to the vertical plane of the motion. Love wave are having the motion which is transverse which is confined to horizontal plane of the motion.
