The video tutorial discusses how volcanoes build themselves up through a process similar to layering chocolate sauce on ice cream. It uses this analogy to explain the flow-by-flow buildup of volcanoes, like those in Hawaii and Iceland. The tutorial highlights the temperature of real-life lava flows and concludes with a reminder of the layer-by-layer process.
