The video tutorial uses a block of ice in sand to model how glaciers create landforms. It begins with a question about the landform being modeled, followed by an explanation of glaciers and their ability to form U-shaped valleys. The demonstration shows how the ice block, representing a glacier, moves through sand to create a valley. The video concludes with encouragement for students to continue their learning.
