The OH group accepts the proton of sulphuric acid in the described reaction. As a result, one water molecule is removed.
Following the elimination, a secondary carbocation is formed, which undergoes a 1, 2-hydrogen shift to create a more stable tertiary carbocation. Furthermore, the alkene contributes electrons to the tertiary carbocation, resulting in the formation of a cyclic molecule.
The mechanism is shown below:
