How much energy would it take to evaporate the part of the Arctic ice caps? the portion evaporated would be 1.82 million square kilometers. and what tier would this be?
 
theres no calc for ice evaporation, just melting
you can.

find energy needed to bring ice from (whatever temperature it's at) up to 0C [i.e melting point], then get energy to change state from solid to liquid, then energy to bring that water from 0 to 100C [i.e boiling point], then energy to change state from liquid to gas.

specific heat capacity and latent heats of fusion and vaporization.

Alright thanks, how do i factor timeframe? the event in question happens in a single video frame
 
could you show me the video?
its not a video, but text from a LN, heres the text

Another fragment fell on Russian land, raising an alert for an attack from another nation,
which left the whole world in a tense state.
But it was the second large fragment that caused the biggest worldwide impact.
The fragment flew north preserving all of its tremendous magical energy, making the impact
of its fall to physically obliterate its surroundings.
It didn’t cause visible geographical changes, but its mental shock on humanity was large.
As the observation satellites suddenly showed that
12% of the Arctic ice caps vanished from one footage clip to the next.
Had this happened to Antarctica’s ice, it would have had a tangible effect on Earth’s oceanic levels.
 
satelites record continuous video
apparently, they do not.
"Satellites do not capture data at all times."
"... typically follow predefined paths and take images at specific intervals ... impracticality of continuously recording and storing every image captured ... constant surveillance by satellites is not a reality"

and even then, a video clip refers to a single video/cut-out segment of a larger video.
"from one clip to the next" would then mean separate videos.
there is literally no mention of frames at all in that passage.
 
's fine. still doesn't address the fact it's explicitly called a clip. frames aren't mentioned anywhere, and assuming "by clip they meant frame even though clip means separate videos and that's the word in the actual passage" is a leap in logic.

I think it would be fine to assume that while it is a separate clip, it picks up from where the last one ended
