This is a Digital Elevation Model (DEM), which is a raster by nature. This map is shown at different scales to illustrate the problem with resolution for raster files. The pixel represents a defined amount of area (check the metadata for the scale). When the map is zoomed out, the pixels are smaller and the resolution looks better. When the map is zoomed in, each pixel is larger and the resolution looks more fuzzy and less defined.
