For each step, you increase the value by a multiple of 10.
It becomes ten times as large.
The place value of the digit to the left is ten times greater.
The place value of each digit is one tenth of the place value of the digit to its right. So moving the decimal point to the left is the same as changing the place value of each digit to a tenth - which is what division by 10 entails. For integral powers of 10 it is simply a repetition of this process.

The first one (from the left) is 3 times 10 = 30. The place value of each digit is one tenth of the place value of the number to its left.

It is expressing a number in decimal form: that is, a form in which the place value of each digit is one tenth the place value of the digit to its left.
The place value of the digit to the left is ten times greater.
It is multiplied by ten.
In the decimal system, each position is ten times greater than the one to the immediate right, and ten times less than the one to the immediate left.

It means that a digit that is further to the left has a greater value than one that is further to the right. For example, the 1 in "10" has a value of ten, while the 1 in "100" has a value of hundred. In general, the "place value" for each position is ten times as much as the position to its right. The actual value of each digit is the digit itself, times its place value.
The digit to the left has a place value that is "base" times that on the right. Normally, the base is 10.
