The Hafgerdingar Effect, or the appearance of "sea fences," is an example of the "superior" type of this phenomenon, which relies on a layer of hot gas being below a layer of cold gas. The Australian Min Min Lights is believed to be a (*) fata morgana, a type of this phenomenon which is created as light passes through layers of air that each have different refractive indices, thus making it seem as though objects in the distance are much closer. For 10 points, name this kind of atmospheric phenomenon, one example of which is an illusory oasis in a desert.
