You're going for "mirage", but we're not comfortable with that description.

It's not really the "image" that's caused by refraction. It's more the location or

direction in which the image is seen that's caused by refraction.

Is mirage caused by total internal reflection?

Mirages are not caused by total internal reflection. Instead, they are optical illusions caused by the bending of light rays due to temperature gradients in the atmosphere, known as atmospheric refraction. Total internal reflection occurs when light passes from a higher refractive index medium to a lower refractive index medium at an angle greater than the critical angle.
